Abstract

Tetrathia[7]helicenes (7-TH), formed by thiophene and benzene rings ortho-fused in an alternating fashion, are emerging as one of the most popular class of chiral helical-shaped molecules [1], thanks to their unique electronic and optical properties suitable for applications in optoelectronics [2], biomolecular recognition [3], and asymmetric catalysis [4]. Despite all these potential advantages, most of the synthetic methodologies to prepare 7-TH systems involve oxidative photochemical cyclization processes, which require specific equipment, highly diluted solutions, and can limit the scale-up of the synthesis of these derivatives. In our ongoing studies on the preparation of 7-TH derivatives, we have set up an innovative and non-photochemical synthesis of 7,8-diaryl substituted 7-TH compounds, exploiting Suzuki-type reactions and Pd-catalysed annulation with diaryl alkynes.
