A transition-metal-free, selenium mediated electrophilic cyclization reaction was realized through a one-pot procedure between simple alkynes and triflic anhydride-activated selenoxides to give selenium containing dihydronaphthalene products. This method gave good to very high yields for all products, including selenium-substituted phenanthrene, dihydroquinoline, 2H-chromene, and coumarin, which can be further transformed to other functionalized compounds.

Nitronaphthalene derivatives react as Michael acceptors in the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction with alkyl phenyl selenones and alkyl diphenyl sulfonium salts. Mechanistic studies reveal that sterically demanding substituents at the carbanionic center favor formation of cyclopropanes and suppress competitive β-elimination to the alkylated products. The transformation, demonstrated also on heterocyclic nitroquinoline and nitroindazolines, is an example of transition metal-free dearomatization method.

Alkynyl selenides were synthesized by a straightforward one-pot and three-step methodology, without the need of diselenides as starting reagents, under an oxygen atmosphere and using PEG 200 as the solvent. This procedure involves the in situ generation of dialkyl diselenides through a K3PO4-assisted reaction of an alkyl selenocyanate obtained by a nucleophilic substitution reaction between KSeCN and alkyl halides. Successive reaction with terminal alkynes in the presence of t-BuOK affords the corresponding alkyl alkynyl selenide in moderate to good yields. Finally, this methodology allowed the synthesis of 2-alkylselanyl-substituted benzofuran and indole derivatives starting from convenient 2-substituted acetylenes.
