Abstract
The present invention relates to a fused heteropolycyclic compound represented by formulae (1) and (2), a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a conductive polymer represented by formulae (3) and (4) in which at least one compound represented by formula (2) is used (the symbols in the formulae are as described in the description). The method of the present invention is a method for producing a sulfo-group-containing polyisothianaphthene capable of reducing the use amount of an oxidant or capable of being polymerized without the use of any oxidant.

A fused heteropolycyclic compound, which is represented by the following formula (1):
- where:
- R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 each independently represent a monovalent substituent selected from the group consisting of (1) a hydrogen atom, (2) a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a linear or branched alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a linear or branched alkyl ester group (alkylcarbonyloxy group or alkoxycarbonyl group) having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, (3) SO2M, (4) a halogen atom, (5) a carboxy group, (6) a phosphonyl group, (7) a nitro group, (8) a cyano group, (9) a primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group, (10) a trihalomethyl group, (11) a phenyl group, and (12) a phenyl group substituted with at least one selected from an alkyl group, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an alkyl ester group, a carbonyl group, a sulfo group, and a halogen atom;
- hydrocarbon chains in the substituents represented by R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 may be bonded to each other at any positions to form at least one divalent chain forming at least one cyclic structure of a three- to seven-membered cyclic saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon together with carbon atoms to which the substituents are bonded;
- the alkyl group, the alkoxy group, or the alkyl ester group represented by each of R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5, or the cyclic hydrocarbon chain formed thereby may contain at least one bond selected from a carbonyl, an ether, an ester, an amide, a sulfide, a sulfinyl, a sulfonyl, and an imino;
- M represents OH, or an alkali metal alkoxide selected from O−Na+, O−Li+, and O−K+, an ammonium alkoxide represented by O−NH4+, a linear or branched alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a halogen atom selected from chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine;
- and k represents the number of fused rings sandwiched between a heterocycle and a benzene ring having the substituents R1 to R3, and represents an integer of from 0 to 3.
