19. The difficulties of generating a good leaving group from the hydroxymethyl functionality directly attached to the TTF framework have been previously pointed out. To our knowledge, only the reaction of trifluoroacetic anhydride with 2-(hydroxymethyl)-TTF to afford the trifluoracetate leaving group has been described: T. Nozdryn, D. Clémenceau, J. Cousseau, V.

27. At this stage no air-oxidation products, such as disulfides, were detected. Nevertheless, purification of 2a by column chromatography on silica gel furnished the oxidized disulfide 3a as a side product (10% yield).

33. This latter yield was not improved with 2,2′-dithiobis(benzothiazole), which was recently reported to produce disulfides under mild conditions: E. Brzezinska, A. E. Ternay Jr., J. Org. Chem. 1994, 59, 8239-8244.

35. An irreversible oxidation peak that can be assigned to the formation of the S-S bond is observed near 2.4 V. Nevertheless, all attempts to convert 2a into 3a electrochemically were unsuccessful.

In addition to the very low values of the S1 and S2 coefficients, one can consider an overall cancelation of the bonding and antibonding interactions between orthogonal, neighboring TTFs.
