Abstract
A synthesis for oligothiophenes that carry an alkyl sidechain with a termin al thiol group is presented. The procedure consists of three basic steps an d uses well-known and simple synthetic chemistry. Nevertheless, this strate gy for preparing functionalized oligothiophenes provides overall yields tha t are as high as 25-30% and represents a convenient route towards this inte resting class of materials.
