Dimsyl Anion Enables Visible-Light-Promoted Charge Transfer in Cross-Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides

A methodology is reported for visible-light-promoted synthesis of unsymmetrical chalcogenides enabled by dimsyl anion in the absence of transition-metals or photoredox catalysts. The cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and diaryl dichalcogenides proceeds with electron-rich, electron-poor, and heteroaromatic moieties. Mechanistic investigations using UV-Vis spectroscopy, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, and control reactions suggest that dimsyl anion forms an electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complex capable of absorbing blue light, leading to a charge transfer responsible for generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides. This previously unreported mechanistic pathway may be applied to other light-induced transformations performed in DMSO in the presence of bases and aryl halides.

Forging C?S(Se) Bonds by Nickel-catalyzed Decarbonylation of Carboxylic Acid and Cleavage of Aryl Dichalcogenides

A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation of carboxylic acids cross-coupling protocol has been developed for the straightforward C?S(Se) bond formation. This reaction is promoted by a commercially-available, user-friendly, inexpensive, air and moisture-stable nickel precatalyst. Various carboxylic acids and a wide range of aryl dichalcogenide substrates were tolerated in this process which afforded products in good to excellent yields. In addition, the present reaction can be conducted on gram scale in good yield.

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.

Synthesis of Diaryl Selenides via Palladium-Catalyzed Debenzylative Cross-Coupling of Aryl Benzyl Selenides with Aryl Bromides

Herein, we report a novel method for synthesizing diaryl selenides from aryl benzyl selenides and aryl bromides via debenzylative cross-coupling with a Pd/NIXANTPHOS-catalyst. NIXANTPHOS outperformed other commonly used bi- and monodentate ligands examined in this novel transformation. This reaction system displays wide functional group tolerance and excellent substrate scope. The transformation broadens the scope of palladium-catalyzed debenzylative processes to use selenolate anions as a leaving group. Its potential for practical synthetic applications was demonstrated with the gram scale synthesis of 4-chlorophenyl phenyl selenide.

Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diaryl Selenides: Copper-Catalyzed Se-Arylation of Diaryl Diselenides with Triarylbismuthanes

Copper-catalyzed C(aryl)-Se bond formation by the reaction of diaryl diselenides with triarylbismuthanes in the presence of copper(I) acetate (10 mol%) and 1,10-phenanthroline (10 mol%) under aerobic conditions led to the formation of unsymmetric diaryl s

Organoselenium and DMAP co-catalysis: Regioselective synthesis of medium-sized halolactones and bromooxepanes from unactivated alkenes

A catalytic system consisting of bis(4-methoxyphenyl)selenide and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) has been developed for the regioselective synthesis of medium-sized bromo/iodo lactones and bromooxepanes possessing high transannular strain. 77Se NMR, mass spectrometry and theoretical studies reveal that the reaction proceeds via a quaternary selenium intermediate.

A highly efficient and reusable MCM-41-immobilized bipyridine copper(I) catalyst for the C-Se coupling of organoboronic acids with diaryl diselenides

A highly efficient MCM-41-immobilized bipyridine copper(i) complex [MCM-41-bpy-CuI] was prepared from 4,4'-bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propylaminomethyl]-2,2'-bipyridine via immobilization on the mesoporous material MCM-41, followed by reaction with CuI. In the presence of 5 mol% MCM-41-bpy-CuI, the cross-coupling reaction of organoboronic acids with diaryl diselenides proceeded smoothly in DMSO/H2O (2/1) at 110°C under air to afford a variety of diorganyl selenides in good to excellent yields. This heterogeneous copper catalyst can be recovered and recycled by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and used for at least 10 consecutive trials without any decrease in 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.

Photoinduced synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides from triarylbismuthines and diaryl diselenides

A novel method of photoinduced synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides from triarylbismuthines and diaryl diselenides has been developed. Although the arylation reactions with triarylbismuthines are usually catalyzed by transition-metal complexes, the present arylation of diaryl diselenides with triarylbismuthines proceeds upon photoirradiation in the absence of transition-metal catalysts. A variety of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides can be conveniently prepared by using this arylation method.
