title: Efficient synthesis of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophenes (EDOT) by Mitsunobu reaction.
abstract: Using the Mitsunobu reaction as a key step, a general and efficient method for the synthesis of EDOT monomers has been developed. Novel substituted EDOTs and the first chiral derivatives were generated in high yields.
