2,5-Bis(dicyanomethylene)-2,5-dihydrofuran with a 2,5-furanoquinonoid skeleton and its extensive conjugated homologues, 5,5′- bis(dicyanomethylene)-5,5′-dihydro-Δ2,2′-bifuran (8a), and 5,5″-bis(dicyanomethylene)-5,5″-dihydro-Δ 2,2′:5′,2″-terfuran (12a), have been prepared as a new type of oxygen-containing electron acceptors. In the synthetic course of the tetrabromo derivative of 12a, 3′,4-dibromo-5-(3,5-dibromo-2-furyl)-3, 5′bis(dicyanomethylene)-3,5′-dihydro-Δ2,2′- bifuran was also obtained as an unsymmetrical isomer possessing an unusual 2,3-furanoquinonoid conjugation, whose structure was confirmed on the basis of X-ray crystallography analysis. In addition, X-ray analysis of the TTF complex of 8a revealed that the bifuranoquinonoid conjugation has a trans form. These furanoquinonoid compounds behaved as weak electron acceptors, and accordingly failed to form conductive complexes. However, the 3,3′-dibromo derivative of 8a gave the TTT complex of a very high electrical conductivity.

Sixteen 2,2'-bifurans with aryl substituents are reported. The copper-mediated oxidative coupling of lithium salt of furan led to the formation of 2,2'-bifuran, which was brominated with either 2 eq. or 4 eq. NBS to afford 5,5'-dibromo-2,2'-bifuran and 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromo-2,2'-bifuran. The palladiumcatalyzed Suzuki reactions between dibromo or tetrabormo-bifuran and arylboronic acid were employed to furnish the title compounds, which were characterized by NMR spectra and mass spectra.
