Abstract

Herein, a novel and versatile method for the synthesis of N-heteroarylated dithieno[3,2-b:2,3′-d]pyrroles (DTPs) is reported. By microwave-assisted Cu-catalyzed coupling of parent H-DTP 1 with 5- and 6-membered heteroaromatic halides, a variety of novel N-functionalized DTPs were obtained. Supported by quantum chemical calculations and X-ray structure analysis, structural and optoelectronic properties of the π-conjugated systems were investigated and led to valuable structure–property relationships. Selected derivatives were electropolymerized to corresponding conducting DTP polymers.
