V. Duchenet et al., SYNTHESIS OF 4,4''-DIALKYL-ALPHA-TERTHIOP HENES AND ALPHA-QUINQUETHIOPHENES, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 118, 1996, pp. 117-128
4,4 ''-dialkyl alpha-terthiophenes have been conveniently synthetized.
Substituted alpha-quinquethiophenes are easily obtained from specific
ally dibrominated alpha-terthiophenes and are excellent models for ele
ctrochemical polymerization studies.
