title: The synthesis of head-to-tail (H-T) dimers of 3-substituted thiophenes by the hypervalent iodine(III)-induced oxidative biaryl coupling reaction.
abstract: The head-to-tail (H-T) dimers could be obtained selectively by the oxidative coupling reaction of 3-substituted thiophenes using a combination of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate.
