- Sodium Selenosulfate from Sodium Sulfite and Selenium Powder: An Odorless Selenylating Reagent for Alkyl Halides to Produce Dialkyl Diselenide Catalysts
-
Na 2 SeSO 3, which can be generated in situ by the reaction of Na 2 SO 3 with Se power, was found to be an odorless reagent for the selenenylation of alkyl halides to produce dialkyl diselenides. These products have been recently shown to be good catalysts for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of carbonyl compounds, for the selective oxidation of alkenes, or for the oxidative deoximation of oximes. By using aqueous EtOH as the solvent and avoiding the generation of a malodourous selenol intermediate, the selenylation reaction with Na 2 SeSO 3 is much more environmentally friendly than conventional methods. Owing to the cheap and abundant starting materials and selenium reagents, our novel synthetic method reduces the production costs of dialkyl diselenides as organoselenium catalysts, thereby advancing practical applications of organoselenium-catalysis technologies.

- A cost-effective shortcut to prepare organoselenium catalysts via decarboxylative coupling of phenylacetic acid with elemental selenium
-
An interesting decarboxylative coupling reaction of phenylacetic acid with elemental selenium was discovered and employed for the preparation efficient organoselenium catalysts for Baeyer–Villiger reaction and oxidative deoximation reaction. Compared with the traditionally used Grignard reagent method, the decarboxylative coupling reaction with selenium powders provides a shortcut for the preparation of organoselenium catalysts free of carcinogenic organohalide starting materials, toxic and odorous selenol intermediates and magnesium salt solid wastes. This may be helpful for reducing the cost of selenium catalysts to facilitate the application of organoselenium-catalyzed green reactions in large-scale production.
