Collection: Benzofurans [Small Molecule Semiconductor Building Blocks]

Benzofurans [Small Molecule Semiconductor Building Blocks] — collects dibenzofuran and benzofuran compounds functionalized with halogen groups (bromo, iodo) or boronate esters at specific positions on the fused aromatic ring. These reactive groups make them key starting materials for transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in assembling small-molecule organic semiconductor materials.

Benzofurans in this category are widely used as monomers and intermediates in the synthesis of optoelectronic materials such as OLEDs, OFETs, and other organic semiconductors. Boronate groups on derivatives such as dibenzofuranylboronate enable Suzuki-Miyaura reactions to link aromatic units into longer conjugated structures, while bromo and iodo derivatives act as electrophiles in similar coupling reactions. Organic materials researchers use them to assemble molecular frameworks with tunable electronic properties.

Product selection should consider the position of the halogen or boronate substitution on the dibenzofuran/benzofuran ring, as it affects the regioselectivity of subsequent coupling reactions, as well as the purity level and possible anhydride content in boronic acid variants. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
