(Chemical Equation Presented) Bithiophene derivatives bridged with a bis(spirodienone) unit were synthesized and characterized. Lithiation of the thiophene rings of an unsubstituted derivative proceeded without decomposition of the bis(spirodienone) skeleton. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira) with bromides afforded a variety of π-extended derivatives. Bond breaking and formation under redox conditions were observed by cyclic voltammetry.
