Benzothiophene is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C8H6S and a naphthalene-like odor. Benzothiophenes are used in research as a starting material for the synthesis of larger, often biologically active structures. It exists in medicinal chemical structures such as raloxifene, zileuton, and sertaconazole, and can also be found in BTCP. It is also used to make dyes such as thioindigo.
Organic light emitting diodes (devices) or OLEDs are monolithic solid-state devices that typically consist of a series of organic thin films sandwiched between two thin film conductive electrodes. It is a display technology used in many electronic devices, such as smartphones, televisions, and wearables. In an OLED display, each pixel is made up of organic compounds that emit light when an electric current passes through them. Unlike traditional LCD displays, this eliminates the need for a backlight. As a result, OLED displays can achieve deeper blacks and higher contrast ratios, leading to vibrant and more realistic images.
Boronic acids and boronate esters are commonly used reagents in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling chemistry. Organoboron derivatives are common reagents for C–C bond formation, either through classical palladium-mediated transformations or through other newer coupling methods. Boronic esters and acids are potential intermediates in the manufacture of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
