Organic thin-film transistor performance

The synthesis of two a,a -disubstituted bis(dithienothiophene) (BDT) derivatives 163 and 166 for organic thin film transistors (TFT) has been performed. Substitution of dithienodithiophene 15 and subsequent oxidation with -BuLi and Fc(acac) gave the two derivatives (Scheme 18) <1999SM(102)987>.
