Thiophene based heterocyclic compounds plays important roles in organic chemistry due to their unexpected properties. Herein, novel benzothiophene derivatives (6A-F) are synthesized via Sonogashira coupling, iodocyclization reaction, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and condensation reactions. After characterization of design molecules, their glucose electrooxidation activities are investigated. Electrochemical measurements are performed by cyclic voltammetry, chrono amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 1 M KOH +0.5 M C6H12O6 solution. This results show that the highest performance organic-based catalysts is obtained as 0.729 mA/cm(2) (3.345 mA/mg) for the 2-(4-(2-pentylbenzo [b] thiophen-3-yl)benzylidene)malononitrile (6B). Furthermore, 6B catalyst is shown long term stability, the best current density value (1.151 mA cm(-2)), and the best transfer resistance load between organic-based catalysts. As a result, it is clear that these benzothiophene derivatives are promising organic based catalyst, an alternative to the expensive Pd and Pt based metal catalyst, for direct glucose fuel cell anode.
