title: Bichalcophenes: A Concise Synthesis of Formyl Ester- and Cyano Ester-Substituted Bithiophenes, Bifurans, and Furanothiophenes.
abstract: Syntheses of new formyl ester- and cyano ester-substituted bithiophenes, bifurans, and furanothiophenes in good yield are described. The key synthetic step uses Stille coupling of appropriately substituted bromo 5-ring heterocycles with stannyl-substituted 5-ring heterocycles.
