29. 1,3-Dibromoisothianaphthene would be an alternative building block for conjugated polymers through Pd[0]-catalyzed coupling reactions. We attempted to make this compound through bromination of isothianaphthene using N-bromosuccinimide. That process led to only intractable black solid presumably due to oxidative polymerization. We did not pursue further in this direction for the following reasons: (i) The only example of this compound was described in a patent as a reaction intermediate (Itoh, K. U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. US 2006057426, 2006, 8 pp). The compound was not isolated or characterized. The stability of this compound is also questionable since the similar compound, 1,3-dichloroisothianaphthene. which is expected to be more stable, decomposes with time even at low temperature under an inert atmosphere (ref 27). (ii) It is generally accepted that in a Pd[0]-catalyzed coupling reaction the rate-limiting step is the oxidative insertion of aryl halide to the Pd species. The electron-rich isothianaphthene may thus slow down the insertion and destabilize the complex leading to side reactions and possible deactivation of the catalyst; see for example: Espinet, P.; Echavairen, A. M. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 4704-4734.

Sci. 1978, 313, 79-85. 1,3-Dilithioisothianaphthene is another example of dimetallic ITN derivative that has not been isolated and thus could only be used as reaction intermediate.
