Abstract

A number of 3,4-dialkoxythiophene compounds have been synthesised, and their reactivities assessed by the Mannich reaction with secondary amines. These reactivities are discussed in terms of the degree of steric hindrance of the 2 and 5 positions of the thiophene ring. Attempts also have been made to synthesise bis(3,4-alkoxythiophene) polyethers related to dibenzo-18-crown-6 et al., by the Williamson ether synthesis, however under the conditions reported by this author, the [1+1] cyclisation compound was the major product.

Several bis-[2-(thienyl)methyl] amines derived from 3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene are reported, their syntheses being performed under both normal and high dilution conditions. Each synthesis also afforded the trithienylmethylamine oligomers, as well as polymeric material. Attempts to cyclise the bis-[2-(thienyl)methyl] amines with a further moiety of secondary diamine gave as the major product 2-methyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-5- carboxaldehyde, arising from a 1,6-Hofmann elimination.
