3,3'-dibromo-5,5'-di-trimethylsilyl-2,2'-dithiophene
Example 4
3,3'-dibromo-5,5'-di-trimethylsilyl-2,2'-dithiophene
To a freshly prepared LDA solution (82 ml butyllithium [2.7 m in heptane], 22.6 g di-isopropyl amine and 300 ml dry THF) at -78° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 32.4 g 3,3'-dibromo-2,2'-dithiophene 13 in 150 ml of dry THF is slowly added.
The solution is slowly warmed to -20° C., stirred for 15 minutes and then re-cooled to -78° C. 27.2 g trimethyl silylchloride is added at once and the solution is slowly allowed to warm to 0° C.
After stirring for 1 hour at 0° C. the reaction mixture is quenched by adding 100 ml water.
The phases are separated and the organic phase is washed twice with brine and dried over sodium sulphate.
The residue is suspended in methanol and the formed solid is recovered by filtration and dried under vacuum.
Affords 43 g (92%) of the title compound 15 as an off-white powder.
