3,4-Bisthiolated pyrroles constitute key cores in pyrrole-based semiconductors, and their electronic properties could be improved by the bisthio groups via the S-effect. Herein, a convenient method for the synthesis of 3,4-bisthiolated pyrroles has been developed through the AlCl3-catalyzed thiolation/cyclization of homopropargylic azides, and cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations indicated that the desired 3,4-bisthiolated pyrroles had higher HOMO orbital energies and lower band gaps than the parent unsubstituted 2,5-diphenylpyrrole.
