“…110 It should be noted that bromination of thiophenes is particularly important in the preparation of oligothiophenes and polythiophenes, [111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123] which have many applications as conductive, semiconductive, nonlinear optical and liquid crystalline materials. 124 Visible light irradiation of [Acr + -Mes]ClO 4 -(λ max = 430 nm, 0.20 mM) in an oxygen-saturated MeCN solution containing 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene (TMB, 4.0 mM), 50 % aqueous HBr ([HBr] = 20 mM, [H 2 O] = 100 mM) with a xenon lamp attached with color glass filter (λ < 320 nm) for 20 min resulted in formation of a brominated product, 2,4,5trimethoxybromobenzene.…”
