Abstract

AbstractFour isomers of 4,7′-bibenzothiophene scaffolds bearing two different halogen (Br, Cl) and triisopropylsilyl substituents have been synthesized from the two multihalobenzo[b]thiophenes via iodoselective Miyaura borylation reaction using potassium benzoate as a base. Further investigation into the reactivity of 4,7′-bibenzothiophenes in substitution reaction, Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, and C–H direct arylation reaction revealed that tetrasubstituted 4,7′-bibenzothiophenes can be synthesized site- (chemo-) selectively, which are promising novel components for molecular architecture.
