Abstract

A general synthetic route has been developed for the simple and efficient preparation of N- functionalized dithieno [3, 2-b: 2', 3'-d] pyrroles. These synthetic methods utilize N- functionalized N-(3'-thienyl)-3-aminothiophenes produced from the Pd-catalyzed amination of 3-bromothiophene with primary amines, followed by a one-pot bromination/cyclization process. This combination allows the convenient preparation of a variety of N- ...
