ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a number of innovative electrophilic substitution reactions involving 2,5-dithienylpyrrole (2,5-DTP). More specifically, these reactions are used in the synthesis of monomers for preparing functionalized conducting organic polymers.
The electrophilic substitution reactions in this invention are accomplished under conditions not requiring the use of N-1 pyrrole blocking groups to direct reaction at the pyrrole C-3 position. This is because the steric bulk of the 2,5-dithienyl groups prevent N-acylation and therefore direct reactions with electrophiles at the pyrrole C-3 position.
The reaction conditions chosen have also demonstrated a greater regioselectivity towards functionalization at the pyrrole 3-position than the basic reaction conditions suggested in the prior art. This result may be explained by an activation of the pyrrole 3-position towards electrophilic substitution. This is attributed to an electron donating resonance contribution of the 2,5 thienyl groups.
Other advantageous reaction conditions have been discovered which direct electrophilic substitution preferentially at the pyrrole or thiophene groups depending upon the amount of acidic catalyst.
