The 100 mg to 5 g scale synthesis of a variety of arylene (6, 11, 13) and hetarylene building blocks (15, 17, 18) by and for Suzuki/Stille type cross-coupling reactions is reported. These building blocks carry solubilizing hexyloxymethyl substituents as well as boronic acid ester and Br/I functionalities. This considerably widens the already existing construction set for the modular chemistry approach to shape persistent and functional compounds on the nanometer scale.
