Abstract
2,3-Bis(bromomethyl)TTFs 4 are used as precursors of 2,3-dimethylene-[2H]-T TFs 5 to reach cycloadducts of high synthetic interest via a [4+2] cycloadd ition with quinonic derivatives. Subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefina tions with a 1,3-dithiole phosphonate anion afforded highly extended and su lfur-rich analogs of tetrathiafulvalene 1.
