Abstract

The application of a general synthetic approach to prepare molecular chains is reported. It is based on a step-by-step method each consisting first in a Pd-catalyzed reaction between ArI and HXAr′ Br (Ar= aryl, Ar′= arylene) to give ArXAr′ Br followed by a Cu-catalyzed replacement of Br by I to give ArXAr′ I that can be reacted with HXAr′ Br in the following step. The application of this method is here illustrated to prepare phenylene sulfide ...
