Reaction Steps

The 3,6-diiodo-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dione (1.000 g; 2.370 mmol), tributyl-(3-octyl-thiophen-2-yl)-stannane (Bras, Jérôme; Guillerez, Stéphane; Pépin-Donat, Brigitte. Chem. Mater. 2000, 12, 2372-2384) (2.977 g; 5.213 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (166 mg; 0.237 mmol), copper Iodide (45 mg; 0.237 mmol) and toluene (100 cm3) is added in a 250 cm3 flask. The resulting mixture is carefully degassed for 30 minutes, and then heated at 90° C. for 16 h under nitrogen protection. Silica is added and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude product is purified by column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether 40-60:DCM; 70:30 ratio) to recover the pure product as a red powder (612 mg, Yield: 46%). NMR (1H, 300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.47 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 2H); 7.02 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 2H); 2.57 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 4H); 1.61 (m, 4H); 1.26 (m, 20H); 0.86 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 6H). NMR (13C, 75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 186.92; 154.77; 145.82; 129.91; 192.26; 129.05; 123.79; 32.01; 30.70; 30.06; 29.61; 29.52; 29.37; 22.81; 14.27.
