A nickel-based catalytic system for the regiospecific C2-H arylation of benzothiophene has been established. NiCl2(bpy) is used as a catalyst in combination with LiHMDS as a base in dioxane. The catalytic system is applicable to a variety of functionalized benzothiophenes, as well as other heteroarenes including thiophene, benzodithiophene, benzofuran and selenophene in combination with iodo aryl electrophiles. The role of LiHMDS as a uniquely potent base and a postulated mechanism are discussed. The applicability of this system is finally demonstrated for the synthesis of an intermediate of an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The methods available for the synthesis of chalcogenophenes, in general, are associated with drawbacks of harsh conditions, use of costly metals, broad applicability, tedious purification process and low yield. To avoid these drawbacks a transition metal-free iodine-catalyzed reaction of aryl-susbstituted 1,3-dienyl bromides with potassium selenocyanate/potassium sulfide (KSeCN/K2S) leading to the corresponding selenophenes and thiophenes has been developed. Iodine is relatively benign, less expensive and readily available. Several diversely substituted selenophenes and thiophenes have been obtained by this procedure in high yields. Using this procedure 2-(4-chlorophenyl)thiophene, a key intermediate for the synthesis of a melanin concentrating hormone receptor ligand involved in the treatment of eating disorders, weight gain, obesity, depression and anxiety has been synthesized. Although the reaction is one-pot essentially it proceeds in two steps involving a selenocyanate/thiolate intermediate leading to the selenophene/thiophene. The simple operation, use of inexpensive reagents and a metal-free process make this procedure more attractive for an easy access to substituted selenophenes and thiophenes. (Figure presented.).
A direct synthesis of selenophenes by Cu-catalyzed one-pot addition of a selenium moiety to (E,E)-1,3-dienyl bromides and subsequent nucleophilic cyclization

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of selenophenes and selanyl selenophenes has been achieved by a simple one-pot reaction of 1,3-dienyl bromides and 1,3-dienyl-gem-dibromides respectively with KSeCN catalyzed by CuO nanoparticles. Several aryl, alke
