Zinc-mediated synthesis of tertiary alkyl selenides from tertiary alkyl halides

Diorganyl selenides are efficiently synthesized from tertiary alkyl halides, selenols or selenolates and zinc dibromide as well as from diselenides in the presence of zinc. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

A novel synthesis of benzyl sulfides and selenides via SM/BiCl3 system in aqueous media

Benzyl sulfides and selenides are synthesized via reaction of benzyl bromide with disulfides and diselenides prorated by Srn/BiCl3 system in aqueous media in moderate to good yields.

Metal-free synthesis of unsymmetrical selenides from pyridinium salts and diselenides catalysed by visible light

We report the first metal-free selenolations of pyridinium salts with diselenides to prepare unsymmetrical organoselenides catalysed by visible light. This protocol is an efficient and green method for the preparation of unsymmetrical organoselenides because metal-free conditions and readily accessible diselenides are used.

Transition metal-free coupling reactions of benzylic trimethylammonium salts with di(hetero)aryl disulfides and diselenides

A new protocol was developed to synthesize (enantioenriched) thioethers and selenoethers from (chiral) benzylic trimethylammonium salts and di(hetero)aryl disulfides or diselenides. These syntheses were promoted by the presence of weak base and did not require the use of any transition metal, and resulted in the target products with good to excellent yields (72-94%). Using quaternary ammonium salts synthesized from enantiomerically enriched amines led to highly enantiopure benzylic thioethers and selenoethers (94-99% ee) with configurations reversed from those of their enantioenriched quaternary ammonium salts.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbene Transfer Reactions for Sigmatropic Rearrangement Reactions of Selenium Ylides

The rearrangement of selenium ylides is even today almost unexplored, although it would provide access to important organoselenium compounds with broad downstream applications. In this report, the first systematic study of sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of selenium ylides using a simple rhodium catalyst with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol % is described. Selenium oxide pyrolysis of the rearrangement products gives access to important 1,1-disubstituted butadienes.
