Palladium Complex Immobilized on Magnetic Nanoparticles Modified with 2-Aminopyridine Ligand: A Novel and Efficient Recoverable Nanocatalyst for C–S and C–Se Coupling Reactions

A novel, versatile and efficient magnetically recoverable palladium nanocatalyst [Fe3O4@SiO2/2-aminopyridine-Pd(II)] was fabricated via the immobilization of palladium(II) complex on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles modified with 2-aminopyridine ligand. The structure of the as-fabricated Fe3O4@SiO2/2-aminopyridine-Pd(II) nanocomposite was characterized by a series of spectroscopic techniques including FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, TGA, XRD, VSM and ICP-OES techniques. The Fe3O4@SiO2/2-aminopyridine-Pd(II) nanocomposite was utilized under mild and eco-friendly conditions in C–S and C–Se coupling reactions to afford a vast variety of diaryl sulfides and diaryl selenides with good to excellent yields. This heterogeneous palladium catalyst can be magnetically separated and reused for at least 7 consecutive trials without any reduction in activity.

Selenium dioxide promoted dinitrogen extrusion/direct selenation of arylhydrazines and anilines

A novel, efficient, economical strategy for the coupling and direct selenation of arylhydrazines to selenides using SeO2 has been developed. Our method employs SeO2 as the selenium source with hydrazines as coupling reactants to generate selenides via dinitrogen extrusion. This reagent also helped to generate ArSe substitued aniline derivatives via C–H functionalization reaction in good yields. The application of this method in gram scale was also carried out.

Ni nanoparticle-confined covalent organic polymer directed diaryl-selenides synthesis

The present work describes the preparation of a new covalent organic polymer (COP) and its application as a hetero support for diaryl selenides synthesis. A nitrogen rich COP (CGP) has been synthesized via SNAr reaction of cyanuric chloride with guanidinium hydrochloride. The successful confinement of COP with Ni nanoparticles through post-synthetic transformations (Ni?CGP) provides excellent catalytic activity for the transformation of aryl halides into diaryl selenides using elemental selenium powder. The synthetic transformations are well confirmed using various modern analytical and spectroscopic techniques which reveal high chemical and thermal durability. The N-rich framework of CGP fortifies the confinement of Ni NPs. Ni?CGP provides an efficient approach for diaryl selenides synthesis using a very cheap selenating reagent under water benign solvent conditions (DMSO?:?H2O) at room temperature with high reusability. Significantly, our work not only contributes the opportunity for developing economical and effective non-noble metal decorated COPs as heterogeneous catalysts, but also delivers an efficient approach to produce industrially important C-Se coupling products.

Palladium Nanoparticles Supported on Nitrogen-rich Containing Melamine-based Microporous Covalent Triazine Polymers as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for C?Se Coupling Reactions

In the present work, microporous nitrogen containing covalent triazine polymers (CTPs) TATAM was synthesized from condensation of 4,4′4′′-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tribenzaldehyde (TATA) and melamine under solvothermal conditions to obtain nitrogen- rich triazine containing polymeric supported materials (TATAM). Further, palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were supported on TATAM polymeric networks (Pd@TATAM). The synthesized Pd@TATAM CTPs material was thoroughly characterized by FT-IR, UV-DRS, solid state 13C-CPMAS, XPS, powder X-ray diffraction, TGA, SEM, TEM. In addition, the characterized Pd@TATAM CTPs were applied to check the catalytic application. The Pd@TATAM was shown to be an efficient and reusable heterogeneous solid catalyst for the formation of C?Se bond through coupling of aryl halide and elemental selenium, dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent at 100 °C for about 6 h. Besides the absence of metal leaching for catalytic system, it is also observed that the catalyst can be reused for three consecutive cycles with a minimal decrease in its activity.

A convenient and efficient copper-catalyzed synthesis of unsymmetrical and symmetrical diaryl chalcogenides from arylboronic acids in ethanol at room temperature

A simple and convenient approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl chalcogenides (Te, Se, and S) has been developed by copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of organoboronic acid with diaryl dichalcogenide in ethanol using NaBH4 in air or oxygen. The present methodology is highly practical for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl tellurides with various functionalities such as -NO2, -F, -Br, and -COOH that have been obtained in good to excellent yields. Methodology is also effective for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides and sulfides. Moreover, symmetrical diaryl selenides have also been obtained from arylboronic acids using elemental selenium powder under optimized reaction conditions. The use of NaBH 4 is the key for the development of milder reaction conditions, which enable the construction of unsymmetrical diaryl chalcogenides from boronic acid substrates in ethanol at room temperature.

Structural studies on diaryl selenide dihalides in solution: Molecular complex formation of substituted diphenyl selenides with bromine

Diaryl selenides that yield molecular complexes (MC) with bromine are prepared by modulating the effective electronegativity of the selenium atom and the steric environment around the atom in diphenyl selenide (1) with various substituents at the 2-, 3- and/or 4-positions. Halogen induced 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the diaryl selenides are examined. The chlorine and iodine adducts of the selenides are shown to be trigonal bipyramidal adducts (TB) and MC, respectively. In the case of bromine adducts, the structures of (3- and 4-YC6H4)2SeBr2 are demonstrated to be MC if Y is CN and NO2, contrary to the general rule: they are TB if Y is less electron-withdrawing than the ethoxycarbonyl group. The CN and NO2 groups increase the effective electronegativity of the Se atom in (3- and 4-YC6H4)2Se and do not give TB with bromine. The four chloro groups at all meta-positions in 1 are also effective for MC formation. However, 3,5-(O2N)2C6H3SeBr2Ph is TB. Ab initio MO calculations show that the structures of (3-O2NC6H4)2Se and 3,5-(O2N)2C6H3SePh are close to the C2 and C s symmetries, respectively, which reveals that the conformational change is also important when the structures of the bromine adducts are determined. The steric congestion must be more severe for TB formation than for MC formation. The structures of 2,6-Cl2C6H3- SeBr2C6H4Y-p (Y = H and Br) are MC, which shows that the steric effect of 2,6-Cl2C6H3 group is effective for MC formation. (2-MeC6H4)2SeBr2 and (2-ClC6H4)2SeBr2 are TB and MC, respectively: the electronic effect of the Cl group must play an additional role in the MC formation since the bulkiness of the Me and Cl groups are expected to be similar. The bromine adduct of (2,4,6-Me3C6H2)2Se is also concluded to be MC: the steric effect of the four Me groups at the ortho-positions is large enough to give MC with bromine. The oxidation potentials (Eox) of the diaryl selenides explain well the structures of the bromine adducts: the electronic effect is directly correlated with Eox and the importance of the steric effect has been brought into sharp relief by Eox. Results of MO calculations support the outline of the observations. The structural behavior of some halogen adducts such as 2,6-Cl2C6H3SeCl2C6H 4Y-p (TB: Y = H and Br) is also discussed in some detail.

ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF SELENO AND TELLURO DERIVATIVES IN MeCN

Large-scale electrolysis with concurrent sonication in MeCN allows for the synthesis of a large variety of seleno and telluro derivatives.Aliphatic chalcogenides REER or RER (E = Se, Te) can be prepared by reduction of E powder to E2(2-) or E(2-), followed by addition of an alkyl halide RX.Depending upon R, substitution can compete with homogeneous electron or H+ transfers.RE+ can be prepared by anodic oxidation of REER, and trapped by nucleophiles and olefins.The synthesis of aromatic chalcogenides ArEAr'can be carried out by electrochemically inducedSRN1 substitution.The yields are improved by redox catalysis.Under such conditions, the synthesis of PhEAr (Ar = NCC6H4, PhCOC6H4) proceeds in good yields.ArEEAr and ArEAr can be prepared by cathodic reduction of PhEAr.
