Abstract

The title structure was obtained from X-ray data on the product formed when the monolithio derivative of 3,3’-bithienyl was treated with CuCl2. The thiophene rings were not coplanar: the angle between adjacent rings was about 20° in the 3,3’-bithienyl moieties, and 110° in the 2,2’-bithienyl moiety. The product was best forme (in 84% yield) by coupling 2-bromo-3,3’-bithienyI with its Grignard derivative by the Kumada procedure.
