Functionalized (phenylethynyl)phenylthiol acetates, such as 4-(4′-formylphenyl-ethynyl)phenylthiol acetate (8a) and 4-(4′-hydroxycarbonylphenylethynyl)phenylthiol acetate (9), were readily synthesized from commercially available 4-bromobenzenethiol (1) as the sulfur source using palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions in key steps. These compounds are important intermediates containing linear π-conjugated systems for preparing self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces.
