For over a decade, Direct Arylation Polymerization (DArP) has been demonstrated to be an eco-friendly, facile, and low-cost alternative conventional methodologies such as Stille polymerization for conjugated polymer synthesis. By accessing through C–H activation pathway, DArP offers reduction of synthetic steps while eliminating the generation stoichiometric, highly toxic organotin byproducts. However, major component in these reactions, solvents most prevalently employed are hazardous produced from unsustainable sources, dimethylacetamide (DMA), tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene. Although use sustainable 2-MeTHF cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) recently emerged, drawbacks ethereal include need pressurized reaction setup well potential peroxide formation. While aromatic superior solubilizing polymers, very little done searching more sustainable, benign alternatives this class solvent. Herein, we report application naturally sourced, high-boiling solvent, p-cymene, first time. p-Cymene was found display excellent ability synthesis broad scope alternating copolymers with Mn up 51.3 kg/mol yields 96.2%, outperforming those prepared using CPME Structural analysis revealed exclusion defects polymers p-cymene solvent which, case 2,2′-bithiophene monomer, is challenging access DArP, DMA
