Synthesis of 4,5-bis- and 4,4',5,5',-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethylthio)tetrathiafulvalene: The assembly of tris- and pentakis(tetrathiafulvalene) macromolecules

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1994-25606

Efficient syntheses are reported of the novel pentakis- and tris(tetrathiafulvalene) derivatives 11 and 12, respectively, by esterification of tetraol and diol derivatives 8 and 10 with TTF-carbonyl chloride.
