Compound (I) was prepared via several synthetic steps, such as bromination, nitration and a palladium-catalyzed aromatic Still-coupling reaction (see scheme). The compound is soluble in appropriate organic solvents and was considerably purified by column chromatography (Thomas et al., 2002). The compound was synthesized by the following procedure. A two-necked round-bottomed flask was charged with Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (140 mg), tributyl(4-tert-butylphenyl)stannane (9.3 g, 22 mmol), 2,5-dibromo-3,4-dinitrothiophene (3.32 g, 10 mmol) and DMF (20 ml), and the reaction mixture stirred under nitrogen and heated at 343 K for 16 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ether and the organic phase was washed with water and brine. After drying over anhydrous MgSO4 and removing the volatiles, the residue was purified by column chromatography using CH2Cl2/n-hexane as eluent and followed by recrystallization from CH2Cl2 and MeOH to yield 2.4 g (60%) of (I) as a pale-yellow solid. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from a CH2Cl2 solution layered with hexane at room temperature.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(CMe).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, (I), has been shown to be an excellent precursor for the production of low band gap conjugated polymers and organic light-emitting devices, etc. As indicated in the scheme, standard procedures were administrated to synthesize (I) in high yield.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. The double bonds and C—C single bond of (I) are slightly shorter than those of the parent thiophene, while the S—C single bond is slightly elongated (Bak et al., 1961). The dihedral angles between the thiophene (S/C2–C5) and benzene rings (C11–C16 and C21–C26) are 52.2 (1) and 31.5 (1)°, respectively, and that between the two benzene rings is 35.7 (1)°.
