Synthesis and Physicochemical Properties of Dibenzo[2,3- d:2′,3′- d′]anthra[1,2- b:5,6- b′]dithiophene (DBADT) and Its Derivatives: Effect of Substituents on Their Molecular Orientation and Transistor Properties

We have synthesized dibenzo[2,3-d:2′,3′-d′]anthra[1,2-b:5,6-b′]dithiophene (DBADT) and several derivatives bearing alkyl and phenyl groups at various positions. The optical and electrochemical properties of the synthesized compounds were investigated. All

A practical synthesis of 1,4-diiodo-2,5-bis(chloromethyl)benzene and 1,4-diiodo-2,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzene

Iodination of protected bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene, deprotection of the resulting diiodo aromatics, and subsequent transformation of the hydroxymethyl groups to benzyl halides provides an easy and reliable way to the pure title compounds. Georg Thieme Verl
