A facile synthesis of various (4-arylazothiophen-2-yl) (5-bromothiophen-2-yl) ketone dyes 4a-e was described through heterocyclization of the precursor 2-arylazo-2-acetyl-thioacetanilides 3 with 5-bromo-2-(bromoacetyl)-thiophene. The effect of solvent polarity on absorption spectra was investigated, as was the relationship between dye structures and absorption in the UV–visible region. The absorption maxima of the tested arylazo-thiophene dyes ranged from 464 to 490 nm in ethanol, from 484 to 492 nm in DMF and from 494 to 496 nm in acetone.
