title: Synthesis of the first enantiomerically pure and chiral, disubstituted 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophenes (EDOTs) and corresponding stereo- and regioregular PEDOTs.
abstract: Novel disubstituted EDOT monomers were synthesized in good yields from 3,4-dimethoxythiophene and (chiral) glycols by transetherification. The stereochemistry of the monomers affects the electronic properties of the corresponding chiral PEDOT derivatives.
