O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate: A convenient, bench-stable and metal-free precursor of benzeneselenol

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.

A simple zinc-mediated method for selenium addition to michael acceptors

In this work, we focused our attention on seleno-Michael type reactions. These were performed using zinc-selenolates generated in situ from diphenyl diselenide 1, 1,2-bis(3-phenylpropyl)diselenide 30, and protected selenocystine 31 via an efficient biphas

To Coordinate or not to Coordinate: The Special Role of Chalcogen Ether Functionalities in the Design of Twofold Functionalized Cyclopentadienyl Ligands [Cp,O,Ch (Ch = S, Se)]

The solvent- and catalyst free synthesis of two β-thio ketones L1a and L1b is reported. L1a, L1b, and a β-seleno ketone L1c were successfully employed as ligand precursors in the synthesis of a novel series of cationic titanium complexes 4a–4c via a well-

Simple cleavage of diorganyl diselenides with NaBH4/PEG-400 and direct Michael addition to electron-deficient alkenes

Nucleophilic species of selenium were generated in situ from the reaction of diorganyl diselenide with NaBH4 in PEG-400 as solvent and selectively added to several α,β-unsaturated ketones, esters, acid, and nitrile. By this simple procedure, ch

Zn/RuCl3-promoted cleavage of diselenides: An efficient michael addition of zinc selenolates to conjugated alkenes in aqueous media

A simple and highly efficient one-pot route to β-selenocarbonyl compounds and nitriles has been developed by Zn/RuCl3-catalyzed cleavage of diselenides and subsequent Michael addition of zinc selenolates to conjugated alkenes in aqueous media. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

A convenient synthesis of β-phenylselenocarbonyl compounds by In-TMSCL promoted cleavage of diphenyl diselenide and subsequent michael addition

A simple and convenient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of β-phenylselenocarbonyl compounds by a one-pot reaction of diphenyl diselenide and α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, esters and nitriles in the presence of indium metal-trimethylsilyl chloride under sonication. Presumably, the In-TMSCl reagent system reacts with diphenyl diselenide to form an intermediate, PhSeSiMe3, which then undergoes Michael addition with the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to produce the products.

SYNTHESIS OF SPIROETHERS USING RADICAL CYCLISATIONS

A variety of spiroether products, including one bis-spiro compound, are avaible via a simple radical cyclisation route.

SELENIUM, CARBON MONOXIDE, AND WATER AS A NEW REDUCTION SYSTEM: REDUCTIVE CLEAVAGE OF DISULFIDES AND DISELENIDES TO THIOLS AND SELENOLS

Disulfides and diselenides were effectively reduced to the corresponding thiols and selenols with carbon monoxide and water using selenium.
