Heck-and Ullmann-type palladium-catalyzed reactions were used in order to perform the synthesis of 3′, 4 ″-dioctyl-2, 2′, 5′ 2 ″, 5 ″, 2′″-tetrathienyl. The desired oligothiophene was synthesized in five steps with a total yield of 38% by a Heck-type reaction of bromo-derivatives and a yield of 45% by an Ullmann-type reaction of iodo- precursors.
