Abstract
ortho-Phenylene oligomers are a class of organic molecules that are both chemically and synthetically interesting. Similar molecules have found uses in organic light emitting diodes and organic semiconductors as well as other applications. They are also potential precursors to graphene-like nanoribbons. Little work has been done with ortho-phenylene oligomers, as para –phenylene oligomers have received most of the attention. We have developed a synthesis based on alternating Suzuki-Miyaura couplings and activation of hydroxyls. The ortho-phenylene oligomers are also structurally interesting as there are indications that they assume helical conformations in solution.
