The synthesis of linear and branched oligothiophenes of well‐defined structures is performed with regioselective deprotonation of 3‐substituted thiophenes and nickel‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of the thus formed metalated species with a bromothiophene. The reaction of 3‐hexylthiophene with EtMgCl and 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine (TMP‐H, 10 mol %) induces the metalation selectively at the 5‐position by use of the catalytically generated hindered magnesium amide (TMPMgCl) and the subsequent reaction of a 2‐halo‐3‐hexylthiophene (bromide or chloride) in the presence of a nickel catalyst affords a head‐to‐tail (HT)‐type dimer. By repeating the same sequence, the linear oligothiophene up to a 4‐mer is synthesized in good yield. The reaction of 3‐hexylthiophene with 2,3‐dibromothiophene also takes place to afford a branched oligothiophene 3‐mer in quantitative yield. The obtained 3‐mer is also metalated at the sterically less‐hindered position in a regioselective manner furnishing a 7‐mer in >99 % yield after a further coupling reaction with 2,3‐dibromothiophene. These dendrimers react with several multifunctionalized organic electrophiles, leading to a variety of branched oligothiophenes.
