Step-Economical Syntheses of Functional BODIPY-EDOT π‑Conjugated Materials through Direct C–H Arylation

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed direct C–H arylations of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-<i>s</i>-indacene (BODIPY) with 3,4-ethylene­dioxythio­phene (EDOT) derivatives at relatively low temperature (60 °C) provide moderate to good yields (47%–72%) of products having potential applications in fluorescent bioimaging and organic optoelectronics
