Metal-free C-Se cross-coupling enabled by photoinduced inter-molecular charge transfer

Metal-free C-Se cross-couplingsviathe formation of electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes have been developed. The visible-light induced reactions can be applied for the synthesis of a series of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides employing aryl bromides, aryl iodides as well as aryl chlorides under mild reaction conditions. The scale-up was readily achieved. UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements provide insight into the reaction mechanism.

Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of Aryl Selenoesters Using Formic Acid as an Ex Situ CO Source

A new catalytic protocol for the synthesis of selenoesters from aryl iodides and diaryl diselenides has been developed, where formic acid was employed as an efficient, low-cost, and safe substitute for toxic and gaseous CO. This protocol presents a high functional group tolerance, providing access to a large family of selenoesters in high yields (up to 97%) while operating under mild reaction conditions, and avoids the use of selenol which is difficult to manipulate, easily oxidizes, and has a bad odor. Additionally, this method can be efficiently extended to the synthesis of thioesters with moderate-to-excellent yields, by employing for the first time diorganyl disulfides as precursors.

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.).

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.

Electrochemical Thiolation and Borylation of Arylazo Sulfones with Thiols and B2pin2

An efficient electrochemical synthesis approach of various unsymmetrical thioethers and arylboronates has been developed. Bench stable arylazo sulfones were used as radical precursors for carbon-heteroatom bond formation under electrochemical conditions. Moreover, the scalability of this approach was evaluated by performing the electrochemical thiolation and borylation of arylazo sulfones with thiols and B2pin2 on a gram scale. This protocol not only avoided the use of stoichiometric oxidants, metal catalysts, activating agents and even added bases, but also exhibited favorable functional group tolerance. (Figure presented.).

Metal-Free Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Aryl Selenides and Tellurides via Visible Light-Driven Activation of Arylazo Sulfones

A protocol for the visible light driven preparation of unsymmetrical (hetero)aryl selenides and tellurides is described herein. The method exploits the peculiar photoreactivity of arylazo sulfones that act as thermally stable, precursors of aryl radicals under both photocatalyst- and additive-free conditions. The method developed shows an impressive versatility (more than fifty compounds isolated).

Nickel(II) Tetraphenylporphyrin as an Efficient Photocatalyst Featuring Visible Light Promoted Dual Redox Activities

Nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) is presented as a robust, cost-effective and efficient visible light induced photoredox catalyst. The ground state electrochemical data (CV) and electronic absorption (UV-Vis) spectra reveal the excited state redox potentials for [NiTPP]*/[NiTPP].? and NiTPP].+/[NiTPP]* couples as +1.17 V and ?1.57 V vs SCE respectively. The potential values represent NiTPP as a more potent photocatalyst compare to the well-explored [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The non-precious photocatalyst exhibits excited state redox reactions in dual fashions, i. e., it is capable of undergoing both oxidative as well as reductive quenching pathways. Such versatility of a photocatalyst based on first-row transition metals is very scarce. This unique phenomenon allows one to perform diverse types of redox reactions by employing a single catalyst. Two different sets of chemical reactions have been performed to represent the synthetic utility. The catalyst showed superior efficiency in both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Thus, we believe that NiTPP is a valuable addition to the photocatalyst library and this study will lead to more practical synthetic applications of earth-abundant-metal-based photoredox catalysts. (Figure presented.).

Iron(0) nanoparticles mediated direct conversion of aryl/heteroaryl amines to chalcogenides via in situ diazotization

A simple procedure for the synthesis of organo-chalcogenides has been developed by the reaction of aryl/heteroaryl amines with di-aryl/heteroaryl dichalcogenides in the presence of tBuONO and Fe(0) nanoparticles. The reaction proceeds via in situ diazotization followed by chalcogenation. A series of functionalized diaryl/aryl heteroaryl/diheteroaryl/aryl-alkyl selenides, sulfides and tellurides have been obtained by this procedure. Significantly, using this procedure 2,4-dinitroaniline is converted to (2,4-dinitrophenyl)(phenyl)selane which is known as thioredoxin reductase (TR) and glutathione reductase (GR) inhibitor. The reaction goes by a radical pathway and a plausible mechanism has been suggested.

A Highly Efficient Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diaryl- and Aryl Alkyl Chalcogenides from Aryl Iodides and Diorganyl Disulfides and Diselenides

An efficient and convenient protocol has been developed for the copper-catalyzed reaction of aryl iodides and diorganyl disulfides and diselenides. A variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryl- and aryl alkyl chalcogenides were synthesized with good functional group tolerance and chemoselectivity by using copper(I) iodide as a catalyst, 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine as ligand, and KOH as base under an inert atmosphere.
