CuO nanoparticles: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for cross-coupling reactions of organic diselenides with aryl boronic acids

We present here an efficient and ligand-free cross-coupling reaction of organic diselenides with aryl boronic acids using a catalytic amount of CuO nanoparticles in DMSO at 100 °C under air atmosphere. This is a general cross-coupling reaction and was performed with organic diselenides and aryl boronic acids bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups affording the corresponding selenides in good to excellent yields. The CuO nanoparticles can be easily recovered and utilized for further catalytic reactions.

Glycerol as a recyclable solvent for copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of diaryl diselenides with aryl boronic acids

We describe herein the use of glycerol as the solvent in the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of diaryl diselenides with arylboronic acids using CuI and DMSO as additive. This cross-coupling reaction was performed with diaryl diselenides and arylboronic acids bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, affording the corresponding diaryl selenides in good to excellent yields. The glycerol-CuI mixture can be directly reused for further cross-coupling reactions.

Silver-Catalyzed Synthesis of Diaryl Selenides by Reaction of Diaryl Diselenides with Aryl Boronic Acids

We described herein our results on the silver-catalyzed synthesis of diaryl selenides via a cross-coupling reaction of diaryl diselenides with aryl boronic acids. The methodology is tolerant to electron-donor and electron-withdrawing groups at the substrates and the desired products were obtained in good to excellent yields.

Magnesium-Induced Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diaryl Chalcogenide Compounds from Aryl Iodide via Cleavage of the Se-Se or S-S Bond

The methodology for a copper-catalyzed preparation of diaryl chalcogenide compounds from aryl iodides and diphenyl dichalcogenide molecules is reported. Unsymmetrical diaryl sulfide or diaryl selenide can be synthesized from aryl iodide and PhYYPh (Y = S, Se) with a copper catalyst (CuI or Cu2O) and magnesium metal in one pot. This reaction can be carried out under neutral conditions according to an addition of magnesium metal as the reductive reagent. Furthermore, it is efficiently available for two monophenylchalcogenide groups generated from diphenyl dichalcogenide.

Synthesis of diaryl selenides using electrophilic selenium species and nucleophilic boron reagents in ionic liquids

We described herein the use of imidazolium ionic liquids [bmim]PF 6 and [bmim]BF4 in the selective, metal and catalyst-free synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides by electrophilic substitution in arylboron reagents with arylselenium halides (Cl and Br) at room temperature. This is a general substitution reaction and it was performed with arylboronic acids or potassium aryltrifluoroborates bearing electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups, affording the corresponding diaryl selenides in good to excellent yields. The ionic liquid [bmim][PF6] was easily recovered and utilized for further substitution reactions.

Photocatalyst-free photoredox synthesis of diaryl selenides by reaction of diselenides with aryldiazo sulfones

A photcatalyst-free photoredox synthesis of diaryl selenides has been developed by coupling reaction of diselenides with aryldiazo sulfones. The reaction was accelerated under visible light irradiation without using a photocatalyst or photosensitizer. This approach facilitates the synthesis of diaryl selendes with a wide range of functional group tolerance.

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid-Promoted Synthesis of Arylselenides and Aryltellurides from Diorganyl Dichalcogenides and Arylboronic Acids at Ambient Temperature

A transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of arylselenides and aryltellurides has been established based on the oxidative cross-coupling between diorganyl dichalcogenides and aryl boronic acids. With trichloroisocyanuric acid as an oxidant, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the desired products in 45–97% yields at ambient temperature. Three reaction reagents used in this method are stoichiometric and the oxidation by-product isocyanuric acid can be easily isolated and recovered. Besides of arylboronic acids, aryl trifluoroborates and aryl trihydroxyborates salts are also able to perform this transformation. (Figure presented.).

Efficient heterogeneous copper-catalysed C–Se coupling of aryl iodides with symmetrical diselenides towards unsymmetrical monoselenides

A highly efficient heterogeneous copper(I)-catalysed C–Se coupling of aryl iodides with diaryl diselenides was achieved in dimethylformamide at 110 °C under neutral conditions by using a 10 mol% of bipyridine-functionalised MCM-41-supported copper(I) complex [bpy-MCM-41-CuI] as the catalyst and magnesium as the reductive reagent, yielding a variety of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides in good to excellent yields. This heterogeneous copper catalyst can be easily recovered by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and recycled at least seven times without significant loss of activity.

Asymmetric Heteroleptic Ir(III) Phosphorescent Complexes with Aromatic Selenide and Selenophene Groups: Synthesis and Photophysical, Electrochemical, and Electrophosphorescent Behaviors

With the aim of evaluating the potential of selenium-containing groups in developing electroluminescent (EL) materials, a series of asymmetric heteroleptic Ir(III) phosphorescent complexes (Ir-Se0F, Ir-Se1F, Ir-Se2F, and Ir-Se3F) have been synthesized by using 2-selenophenylpyridine and one ppy-type (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) ligand with a fluorinated selenide group. To the best of our knowledge, these complexes represent unprecedented examples of asymmetric heteroleptic Ir(III) phosphorescent emitters bearing selenium-containing groups. Natural transition orbital (NTO) analysis based on optimized geometries of the first triplet state (T1) have shown that the phosphorescent emissions of these Ir(III) complexes dominantly show 3π- π? features of the 2-selenophenylpyridine ligand with slight metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) contribution. In comparison with their symmetric parent complex Ir-Se with two 2-selenophenylpyridine ligands, these asymmetric heteroleptic Ir(III) phosphorescent complexes can show much higher phosphorescent quantum yields (φP) of ca. 0.90. Both the hole- and electron-trapping ability of these Ir(III) phosphorescent complexes can be enhanced by selenophene and fluorinated selenide groups to improve their EL efficiencies. The EL abilities of these asymmetric heteroleptic Ir(III) phosphorescent emitters fall in the order Ir-Se3F > Ir-Se2F > Ir-Se1F > Ir-Se0F. The highest EL efficiencies have been achieved by Ir-Se3F in the solution-processed OLEDs with external quantum efficiency (next), current efficiency (n L), and power efficiency (n P) of 19.9%, 65.6 cd A-1, and 57.3 lm W-1, respectively. These encouraging EL results clearly indicate the great potential of selenium-containing groups in developing high-performance Ir(III) phosphorescent emitters.
