Abstract

A synthesis for oligothiophenes that carry an alkyl sidechain with a terminal thiol group is presented. The procedure consists of three basic steps and uses well-known and simple synthetic chemistry. Nevertheless, this strategy for preparing functionalized oligothiophenes provides overall yields that are as high as 25-30% and represents a convenient route towards this interesting class of materials.
