A direct route to polythiophenes displaying lateral substituents: Easy one-step synthesis and polymerization of thiophene monomers substituted by a dimethylenecarboxylate (CH2CH2COOR) appendage on the 3-position

Résumé

Thiophene monomers displaying a dimethylenecar- boxylate (CH2CH2COOR) substituent on the 3-position of the aromatic ring can be easily obtained and in one step from the electrochemically induced reaction of 3-bromothiophene with the corresponding acrylate (CH2=CHCOOR). The synthesis of the ethyl ester monomer, of related 2,5-dihalogenothiophenes, and their polymerization are reported. Despite the surprisingly low solubilities displayed by the polymers, a full spectroscopic characterization could be performed and the data fully analyzed. Oxidative polymerizations (FeCl3 or electropolymerization) yield a regioirregular polythiophene, with 60–70% of head-to-tail diads. Both experimental and theoretical results suggest that the nonconjugated ester plays a very minor role - if any - in the polymerizations under oxidative conditions, but has a significant influence on the polymer properties. Preliminary attempts to polymerize the dihalogenothiophenes under reductive conditions were hampered by the even lower solubilities exhibited by the regioregular oligomers.
