Acceleration of the reaction for the synthesis of [1]benzothiopheno[2,3-b][1]benzothiophenes (BTBTs) from 1,1-diarylethylenes was accomplished by the addition of molecular iodine. Postulated intermediates 3-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes were also selectively prepared by simply changing the amount of iodine and the reaction time.
