A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

An improved procedure to run halogen atom and related chalcogen group transfer radical additions is reported. The procedure relies on the thermal decomposition of di-tert-butylhyponitrite (DTBHN), a safer alternative to the explosive diacetyl peroxide, to produce highly reactive methyl radicals that can initiate the chain process. This mode of initiation generates byproducts that are either gaseous (N2) or volatile (acetone and methyl halide) thereby facilitating greatly product purification by either flash column chromatography or distillation. In addition, remarkably simple and mild reaction conditions (refluxing EtOAc during 30 minutes under normal atmosphere) and a low excess of the radical precursor reagent (2 equivalents) make this protocol particularly attractive for preparative synthetic applications. This initiation procedure has been demonstrated with a broad scope since it works efficiently to add a range of electrophilic radicals generated from iodides, bromides, selenides and xanthates over a range of unactivated terminal alkenes. A diverse set of radical trap substrates exemplifies a broad functional group tolerance. Finally, di-tert-butyl peroxyoxalate (DTBPO) is also demonstrated as alternative source of tert-butoxyl radicals to initiate these reactions under identical conditions which gives gaseous by-products (CO2).

An air-stable μ-oxo-bridged binuclear Lewis acid of titanium(IV) salophen perfluorobutanesulfonate [{Ti(salophen)H2O}2O][OSO2C4F9]2 (1) was successfully synthesized by the reaction of TiIV(salophen)Cl2 with AgOSO2C4F9 and characterized by techniques such as IR, NMR and HRMS. This complex was stable open to air over a year, and exhibited good thermal stability and high solubility in polar organic solvents. The complex also had relatively strong acidity with a strength of 0.8 Ho ≤ 3.3, and showed high catalytic efficiency towards various C–S and C–Se bond formations in the presence of zinc power. This catalytic system affords a mild and efficient approach to synthesis of thio- and selenoesters, α-arylthio- and seleno-carbonyl compounds, and thio- and selenoethers.
O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate: A convenient, bench-stable and metal-free precursor of benzeneselenol
Temperini, Andrea,Siciliano, Carlo
, (2020/06/17)
A study by our laboratory shows that air, light and moisture stable O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate could be employed as a safer, practical and efficient alternative to generate “in situ” benzeneselenol or benzeneselenolate anion under different and transition metal-free conditions. This procedure seems to be of general application since the nucleophilic selenium species obtained can be trapped by electrophiles such as alkyl halides, epoxides and electron-deficient alkenes and alkynes under different reaction conditions.

The rearrangement of selenium ylides is even today almost unexplored, although it would provide access to important organoselenium compounds with broad downstream applications. In this report, the first systematic study of sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of selenium ylides using a simple rhodium catalyst with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol % is described. Selenium oxide pyrolysis of the rearrangement products gives access to important 1,1-disubstituted butadienes.

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed unprecedented oxa-[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfur ylide derived from α-thioesters/ketones and diazo carbonyl compounds has been accomplished for the synthesis of various sulfur-tethered vinylogous carbonates in good to excellent yields. Important features of the developed reaction include wide functional group tolerance, excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, and efficient rearrangement involving the carbonyl motif. The present reaction also equally works well with α-selenoesters for the synthesis of seleno-containing vinylogous carbonates.

A metal-free cleavage of diphenyl disulfide and diphenyl diselenide has been achieved using ionic liquid/triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) and a convenient protocol for the one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfides and selenides by condensing 'in situ' generated thiolate or selenate anion with alkyl halides has been developed. In addition, 1,4-conjugate addition of the generated thiolate anions to activated alkenes has also been demonstrated. The ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-pentyl imidazolium bromide, [pmIm]Br plays a crucial role in promoting the course of the reactions and shows superior activity and selectivity compared to other solvents. The [pmIm]Br has been reused for at least five times without appreciable loss of activity.
On the reactivity of indium(III) benzenechalcogenolates (chalcogen = sulfur and selenium) towards organyl halides for the synthesis of organyl phenyl chalcogenides
Peppe, Clovis,Borges De Castro, Lierson
experimental part, p. 678 - 683 (2009/10/30)
The reactivity of indium(III) benzenechalcogenolates (chalcogen = sulfur, selenium) towards organyl halides (organyl = alkyl, allyl, benzyl, acyl) was examined. A practical one-pot method to prepare organyl phenyl chalcogenides indium metal and diphenyl dichalcogenide was found. The coupling is fairly broad in scope and generally works better organyl halides capable to produce stable carbocations.
