Abstract

Introduction of aldehyde and ketone functional groups into the α-positions of monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene provides a novel method for a stepwise and selective penta-functionalization of monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene derivatives.

Key words

aldehyde - functionalization - ketone - pyrrole - tetrathia­fulvalene
