Abstract Approaches towards fluorothiophenes, perfluoroalkyl­thiophenes, perfluoroarylthiophenes and their benzo-analogues are reviewed. The literature up to 2010 is highlighted. 1 Introduction 2 Synthesis of Fluorothiophenes 2.1 Functionalization of the Thiophene Ring 2.2 Heterocyclization 3 Synthesis of Perfluoroalkylthiophenes 3.1 Functionalization of the Thiophene Ring 3.2 Heterocyclization and Cycloaddition 4 Synthesis of Fluorobenzothiophenes 5 Synthesis of Perfluoroalkylbenzothiophenes 6 Synthesis of Perfluoroarylthiophenes 6.1 Organometallic Synthesis 6.2 Cross-Coupling 6.3 Heterocyclization 7 Synthesis of Perfluoroarylbenzothiophenes 8 Synthesis of Benzothiophenes with a Perfluorinated Carbocycle 9 Conclusions
