3‐Halobithienyls have been prepared through the Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ‐catalyzed coupling of thiopheneboronic acids with 2,4‐dihalothiophenes. The ring‐opening of the corresponding 3‐lithiobithienyls obtained upon halogen‐metal exchange with phenyllithium has been investigated. Compound 12 , 3′‐iodo‐2,2′,2″‐terthienyl, was prepared in one step through the Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ‐catalyzed coupling of two equivalents of 2‐thiopheneboronic acid with 2,3,5‐triiodothiophene. Treatment of 12 with phenyllithium and methyl iodide gave a mixture of compounds 10 and 11 occurring in Berkheya and Cullumia species.
