Polythiophene synthesis via halogen dance

Abstract

Polymerization of 2,4-dibromo-3-hexyl-5-lithiated thiophene that is formed by deprotonation of 2,5-dibromo-3-hexylthiophene with LDA and following halogen dance takes place in the presence of a nickel(II) or palladium(II) catalyst to afford poly(3-bromo-4-hexylthiophen-2,5-diyl).
