A synthesis for oligothiophenes that carry an alkyl sidechain with a terminal thiol group is presented. The procedure consists of three basic steps and uses well‐known and simple synthetic chemistry. Nevertheless, this strategy for preparing functionalized oligothiophenes provides overall yields that are as high as 25–30% and represents a convenient route towards this interesting class of materials.
