摘要
We calculated the total molecular electrostatic potential of six thiophene derivatives. This potential portrays the path of approach and coordination site of an electrophile. The calculations reproduce the known regioselectivity of BuLi mediated lithiation reactions and rationalize the low reactivity of BuLi towards 3,3'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bithienyl and lead to a better procedure to polymerize trans-1,2-bis(3-methoxy-2-thienyl)ethene.
