The diversiform functional dihydrobenzothiophenes and thiochromans were comprehensively achieved through the Pd-catalyzed carbon- sulfur cyclization. Mechanistic studies indicated that C-H bond cleavage was involved in the rate-determining step. [1]Benzothieno-[3,2-b]- [1]benzothiophene (BTBT) and benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene (BTT) were efficiently established as the well-known organic field-effect transistor (OFET) material molecules through this methodology.展开更多
