SYNTHESIS OF MIXED OLIGOMERIC HETEROARYLENES CONTAINING FURAN, THIOPHENE, AND SELENOPHENE RINGS; THEIR UV SPECTRA AND OXIDATION POTENTIALS

Abstract
Mixed oligomeric five-membered heteroarylenes 3a-f and 4a-e have been prepared by cross-coupling reaction of the Grignard reagents 2 derived of the appropriately substituted thiophenes 1 with either the 2-bromoheteroarylenes or the 2,5-dibromoheteroarylenes derived of furan, thiophene, and/or selenophene respectively. The UV spectra and oxidation potential of compounds 3a-f and 4a-e are discussed on the basis of co-planarity.
