Synthesis: 2 M octylmagnesium bromide (100 milliliters, 0.2 mol) in anhydrous ethyl ether was added to a well-stirred mixture of dichloro[1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-propane]nickel (II) (0.2 gram) and 3,4-dibromothiophene (20.16 grams, 0.0833 mol) in 200 milliliters of anhydrous ethyl ether in a 500 milliliter round bottom flask cooled with an ice bath under an inert atmosphere. The nickel complex (II) reacted immediately with the Grignard reagent, and the resulting reaction mixture was then allowed to warm up to room temperature. An exothermic reaction started within 30 minutes and the ethyl ether began to reflux gently. After stirring for another 2 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 hours, then cooled in an ice bath, and hydrolyzed with an aqueous 2N hydrochloric acid. The resulting organic layer was separated and washed successively with water, brine, and again with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was distilled under reduced pressure using a Kugelrohr apparatus to provide 21.3 grams of 3,4-dioctylthiophene as a colorless liquid.
