Green hydroselenation of aryl alkynes: Divinyl selenides as a precursor of resveratrol

A simple and efficient protocol to prepare divinyl selenides has been developed by the regio- and stereoselective addition of sodium selenide species to aryl alkynes. The nucleophilic species was generates in situ, from the reaction of elemental selenium with NaBH4, utilizing PEG-400 as the solvent. Several divinyl selenides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with selectivity for the (Z,Z)-isomer by a one-step procedure that was carried out at 60°C in short reaction times. The methodology was extended to tellurium, giving the desired divinyl tellurides in good yields. Furthermore, the Fe-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of bis(3,5-dimethoxystyryl) selenide 3f with (4-methoxyphenyl)magnesium bromide 5 afforded resveratrol trimethyl ether 6 in 57% yield.

Preparation of symmetrical divinyl tellurides via an ylidation reaction

Symmetrical divinyl tellurides are prepared by sequential reaction of bis-(triphenylmethyl phosphonium) halotellurate with base or by the reaction of triphenylmethylidene phosphoranes with TeCl4, followed by aldehydes. The products are converted to E-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by treatment with n-BuLi and DMF.

REACTION OF TELLURIUM WITH PHENYLACETYLENE: A REINVESTIGATION

The reaction of powdered tellurium with phenylacetylene under strongly basic conditions yields cis and trans-2,6-diphenyl-1,4-ditellurafulvenes, rather than Z and E isomers of a five-membered cyclic ditelluride, as recently reported.
