Abstract

The reaction of 5,5′-dibromo-2,2′-bithiophene with di­arylamines in the presence of palladium acetate/tris-(t-butyl)phosphine as catalyst or by a titanium tetrachloride mediated oxidation of 2-(N,N-diarylamino)thiophenes has yielded a series of new N,N′-perarylated 5,5-diamino-2,2′-bithiophenes. These are electron-rich compounds with a low oxidation potential and have a high tendency to form amorphous glasses.
