ResumoIterative extension of the thiophene ring unit leads to oligothiophenes.The coupling reaction at the CH bond of thiophene with halo-thiophene occurs at the 5-position of 2-bromothiophene with 2-iodothiophene in the presence of a palladium catalyst and AgNO 3 /KF as an activator to give the corresponding bithiophene, whose carbon-bromine bond remains.Halogen exchange converts the bromine atom to iodide, which also allows further reaction to form thiophene-thiophene bond.Oligothiophenes are obtained by repeating such sequense.
