Straightforward and direct access to β-seleno- amines and sulfonylamides via the controlled addition of phenylselenomethyllithium (LiCH2SePh) to imines

The transfer of a α-methyl phenylseleno carbanion to variously functionalized N-aryl and N-sulfonyl imines is reported. The fast selenium-lithium exchange conducted on a diselenoacetal with n-BuLi enables the generation of the attacking homologative nucleophile under chemoselective conditions preserving concomitant potentially sensitive functionalities to the lithiating conditions. Uniformly high yields were observed, thus establishing a valuable and conceptually simple approach to the title compounds.

Photoinduced syntheses and reactivities of phosphorus-containing interelement compounds

The photoinduced reactions of tetraphenyldiphosphine disulfide with a range of organic dichalcogenides successfully afforded a series of phosphorus(V)-chalcogen interelement compounds via a radical process. The relative reactivities of the organic dichalcogenides (i.e., (PhS)2, (PhSe)2, and (PhTe)2) toward the PIII or PV groups in the diphosphine analogues under light were investigated in detail, and a convenient method was developed to form P-S or P-Se interelement compounds from tetraphenyldiphosphine disulfide and (PhS)2 or (PhSe)2 upon photoirradiation. Furthermore, the relative photochemical properties and reactivities of tetraphenyldiphophine (P- P interelement compound) and its analogues toward photoinduced radical addition reactions were also discussed. The formed P-E (E = S, Se) interelement compounds could be utilized for ionic reactions, and they could be transformed into various phosphine reagents via one-pot processes.

Corey-Chaykovsky Cyclopropanation of Nitronaphthalenes: Access to Benzonorcaradienes and Related Systems

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.

Reactivity of a β-diketiminate-supported magnesium alkyl complex toward small molecules

The reactivity of the magnesium alkyl {[HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(nBu)}2 (1) toward various small molecules provides access to a variety of magnesium derivatives. For example, the insertion of elemental chalcogens (S8 and Se8) into the Mg-C bond of complex 1 gives the dimeric magnesium thiolate {[HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(μ-SnBu)}2 (2), magnesium selenolate [HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(SenBu)(THF) (3), and magnesium diselenolate [HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(Se2nBu)(THF) (4). Meanwhile, compound 4 can be readily obtained by further insertion of one selenium atom into complex 3. Moreover, the reactions of complex 1 with diphenyl dichalcogenides (PhSSPh and PhSeSePh) by σ bond metathesis afford the corresponding magnesium phenyl chalcogenolates [HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(EPh)(THF) (E = S 5, Se 6) concomitant with PhEnBu release. Furthermore, the treatment of complex 1 with benzonitrile and phenyl isothiocyanate produces the serendipitous magnesium-1-azaallyl complex [HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(N(H)C(Ph)CHC3H7)(DME) (7) and the diimino-thioamidato magnesium compound {κ3-N,N′,N′′-(ArNCMe)2[N(Ph)CS]CH}Mg[(Ph)NC(nBu)S] (8) (Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3). In addition, deprotonation occurs between compound 1 and 1-methylimidazole to generate the imidazolyl complex {[HC(C(Me)N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2]Mg(μ-Im)}2 (9) (Im = 2-N-methylimidazolyl). These results indicated that the butylmagnesium complex 1 possesses high activity toward small molecules and revealed several unusual transformations. All the new compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic methods, and their solid-state structures were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

A highly efficient heterogeneous ruthenium(III)-catalyzed reaction of diaryl diselenides with alkyl halides leading to unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides

A highly efficient heterogeneous ruthenium(III)-catalyzed reaction of diaryl diselenides with alkyl halides was achieved in DMF at 100?°C in the presence of 2?mol% of an MCM-41-immobilized bidentate nitrogen ruthenium(III) complex [MCM-41-2N-RuCl3] and zinc, yielding a variety of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides in good to excellent yields. This new heterogeneous ruthenium catalyst can easily be prepared via a simple two-step procedure from commercially readily available and inexpensive reagents, and recovered by filtration of the reaction solution and recycled for at least eight times without a significant loss of activity.

Mechanistic Insight into the Oxidation of Organic Phenylselenides by H2O2

The oxidation of organic phenylselenides by H2O2is investigated in model compounds, namely, n-butyl phenyl selenide (PhSe(nBu)), bis(phenylselanyl)methane (PhSeMeSePh), diphenyl diselenide (PhSeSePh), and 1,2-bis(phenylselanyl)ethane

α-Alkylation of tertiary amines by C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling under redox neutral photocatalysis

Direct α-alkylation of N-phenyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline with alkyl selenides of desired alkyl chain length and functionality is reported by photoredox catalysis. Construction of hexahydro pyrrolo- and pyrido-isoquinoline scaffolds along with indolines and tetrahydroquinolines is also described by intramolecular C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-couplings.

A general and green procedure for the synthesis of organochalcogenides by CuFe2O4 nanoparticle catalysed coupling of organoboronic acids and dichalcogenides in PEG-400

A general and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of organochalcogenides (selenides and tellurides) by a simple reaction of organoboronic acids and dichalcogenides catalysed by CuFe2O 4 nanoparticles in PEG-400 without any ligand. This protocol offers the scope for access to a wide spectrum of chalcogenides including diaryl, aryl-heteroaryl, aryl-styrenyl, aryl-alkenyl, aryl-allyl, aryl-alkyl and aryl-alkynyl versions. The catalyst is magnetically separable and recyclable eight times without any loss of appreciable catalytic activity. The products are obtained in high purities after evaporation of solvent followed by filtration column chromatography. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

An efficient one-pot approach to selenides: CuI-catalyzed reactions of magnesium selenolate with aryl or alkyl halides

An efficient one-pot route to symmetrical selenides in GC with yields from 13 to 94% has been developed by CuI catalyzing reactions of magnesium organoselenolates with aryl or alkyl halides under mild conditions. It is suggested that selenium could leave from PhSeMgBr to form other RSeMgBr with RMgBr based on experimental results. Although the leaving selenium causes low yield of unsymmetrical selenides and complex products, it offers a slowly releasing selenium source in preparation of nano metal selenides, and a potential leaving group in nucleophilic substitution. The role of excess magnesium is proposed.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of PhSeSnBu3 with aryl and alkyl halides in ionic liquids: A practical synthetic method of diorganyl selenides

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of phenyl tributylstannyl selenide with aryl and alkyl halides can proceed smoothly in room temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF 6]), to give the corresponding diorganyl selenides in good to high yields. The coupling reaction run in [bmim][PF6] has the advantages of rate acceleration and increase of yield in contrast to the reaction run in toluene. Our system not only avoids the use of easily volatile toluene as a solvent but also solves the basic problem of palladium catalyst reuse.
