- Visible-light-induced oxidative coupling of vinylarenes with diselenides leading to α-aryl and α-alkyl selenomethyl ketones
-
A visible-light-induced oxidative coupling of diselenides with readily available vinylarenes is demonstrated. This benign protocol allows one to access a wide range of α-aryl and α-alkyl selenomethyl ketones in good yields with excellent functional group compatibility. The distinct advantages of this protocol over all previous methods include the use of a green solvent and air as an oxidant and the lack of a photocatalyst, a base, and an oxidant as well as better green chemistry matrices. Furthermore, the title reaction can be performed with natural sunlight, the most sustainable energy source imaginable. Additionally, the mild reaction conditions, easy operation and suitability for the modification of styrene-functionalized biomolecules make the current reaction system a more attractive method for the synthesis of a variety of medicinal and agrochemical compounds of interest.

- The effects of C-S and C-Se bonds on torquoselectivity: stereoselective olefination of α-thio and α-selenoketones with ynolates
-
Highly Z-selective olefination of acyclic α-thio and α-selenoketones with ynolates has been achieved, and the theoretical calculations of the transition states in the ring-opening of the intermediates, the β-lactone enolates, revealed that the torquoselectivity was controlled by the secondary orbital interactions between the σ orbital of the C-S bond or a lone pair orbital on the S and σ* orbitals of the breaking C-O bond, and the σ orbital of the breaking C-O bond or a lone pair orbital on the O on the ring and the σ* orbitals of the C-S bond. The synthetic applications of the resulting olefins are also shown.

- Preparation of 2-Arylpropanoic Acids by Oxidative Aryl Migration in (β-Aryl-β-hydroxy)alkyl Phenyl Selenides
-
Oxidation of diastereomeric mixtures of 1-aryl-1-hydroxyprop-2-yl phenyl selenides, prepared either by phenylselenylation of propiophenones followed by reduction or by treatment of benzaldehyde with α-(phenylseleno)ethyl anion, with an excess of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in methanol at 25 deg C for 24 h or at reflux for 2 h affords methyl 2-arylpropanoates almost quantitatively.Similar treatment in tetrahydrofuran at 25 deg C for 24 h results in a direct formation of 2-arylpropanoic acids in high yields.

- Application of Oxidative Aryl Migration in Organo-selenium and -tellurium Compounds to the Synthesis of 2-Arylpropanoic Acids
-
The ethylene acetals of aryl α-phenylseleno- and α-phenyltelluro-ethyl ketones i, Ph, Br) and 5-bromo-6-methoxy-2-naphthyl> have been prepared in 12-83percent yields by treating the corresponding α-bromo compounds with diphenyl diselenide-sodium or diphenyl ditelluride-sodium, respectively, in tetrahydrofuran-dimethylformamide under reflux for 6-10 h, during which the bromine is substituted by the PhSe or PhTe group.This substitution is not observed when the (PhM)2-NaBH4-EtOH (M=Se, Te) system which is known as a source of PhM- anion is used.Oxidation of the acetals thus formed with an excess of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid at 20-25 deg C for 1 h affords hydroxy-ethyl 2-arylpropanoates in 56-86percent yields via aryl group migration which are hydrolysed to 2-arylpropanoic acids, some of which are pharmaceutically important compounds.Overall isolated yields of 2-arylpropanoic acids are around 30-42percent based on the starting propiophenones over 5 steps.
