Description
5-(4-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-butyloctyl)-3,6-dioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrol-1-yl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (CAS No. 2243218-26-8) is a high-purity, specialized organic compound with the molecular formula C39H55BrN2O3S2. This structurally complex molecule features a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) core functionalized with bromothiophene and thiophene carbaldehyde groups, making it a valuable building block for advanced materials research. The extended alkyl chains (2-butyloctyl) enhance solubility in organic solvents while maintaining thermal stability.
This compound is particularly useful in the development of organic semiconductors, photovoltaic materials, and conductive polymers. Its electron-deficient DPP core and π-conjugated system make it ideal for tuning optoelectronic properties in OLEDs, OPVs, and OFETs. Supplied as a solid with >95% purity (HPLC), it is rigorously characterized by 1H/13C NMR, LC-MS, and elemental analysis to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for research applications.

Application
This compound serves as a key intermediate in synthesizing low-bandgap polymers for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), where its electron-accepting DPP core enhances charge transport. The bromothiophene moiety enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Stille), while the aldehyde group allows condensation reactions for π-extension. Researchers utilize it to develop near-infrared (NIR) absorbers and high-mobility semiconductors for flexible electronics.
