This thesis describes the development of iron-catalyzed thienyl C-H/C-H coupling. This is applied to the synthesis of highly conjugated and electron-rich thiophene compounds of interest in materials science by utilization of low redox potential of iron in combination with a mild oxalate oxidant.Transition-metal-catalyzed C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-H coupling has attracted much attention as one of the most straightforward methods to construct C(sp2)-C(sp2) bonds.
