Abstract
Revisiting Murahashi coupling, we found that it effectively allows polymerization of lithiated (hetero)arenes by nickel(II)-catalyzed polycondensation. Deprotonative polymerization of 2-chloro-3-substituted thiophene with n-butyllithium gave head-to-tail-type poly(3-substituted thiophene). Poly(1,4-arylene)s were obtained by the reaction of the corresponding dibromides through lithium-bromine exchange. A lithiated thiophene derivative obtained via deprotonative halogen dance also underwent polymerization to afford a bromo-substituted polythiophene.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
