Preparative GPLC was performed on a Japan Analytical Industry (JAI) Recycling Preparative HPLC Model LC-918R with two columns connected in the series JAIGEL 4H and JAIGEL 3H using chloroform as an eluent (3.8 mL/min); the retention volumes were: 209.5 (1a), 199.5 (1b), 192.0 (1c), 186.0 (1d), 181.5 (1e), 177.5 (1f), 174.0 (1g), 171.0 (1h), 168.5 (1i), 165.5 (1j), and 164.5 (1k) mL.
31. The yields of oligo(octithienylene-diethynylene)s 1 in Scheme 1 are given as overall yields from tetraoctyloctithiophene (8T), because the consecutive reactions were carried out without separation of the intermediates 4-9. In a separate experiment, however, the intermediates were isolated in the following yields: 4, 43%; 5, 33%; 6, 92%; 7, 95%; 8, 96%; 9, 91%.
