Reaction Steps

4,7-Dibromo-5,6-difluoro-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole (0.33 g, 1 mmol), (4-dodecyl-thiophen-2-yl)-trimethyl-stannane (1.04 g, 2.5 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (20 mg) were combined in a 50-mL Schlenk flask. The system was vacuumed and backfilled with argon for three cycles before 20 mL of anhydrous toluene was added. The mixture was heated at 105° C. for 3 days. After the reaction was cooled down, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The product was further purified by silica gel column with toluene/hexane (v/v, 1/4) as the eluent and recrystallization from a hexane/iso-propoanol mixture. The final product (0.60 g, 89.5% yield) was obtained as red needle crystals after drying in vacuo. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 8.15 (d, 2H, J=1.0 Hz), δ 7.23 (d, 2H, J=1.0 Hz), δ 2.74 (t, 4H, J=7.5 Hz), δ 1.73 (m, 4H), δ 1.29 (m, 18H), δ 0.90 (t, 6H, 7.0 Hz). 13C NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 150.8, 148.9, 143.7, 132.3, 131.2, 124.0, 111.7, 31.97, 30.60. 30.52, 29.74, 29.72, 29.70, 29.67, 29.53, 29.42, 29.39, 22.75, 14.19.
