Selenium heterocycles. XXXV . Synthesis and pyrrolysis of aryloxy-, arylthio-, and arylseleno-1,2,3-selenadiazoles

A series of 4-substituted-5-arylthio-1,2,3-selenadiazoles, 4-substituted-5-arylseleno-1,2,3-selenadiazoles and 4-aryloxymethyl-1,2,3-selenadiazoles were synthesized. Pyrrolysis of these compounds afforded the corresponding acetylenes XI, XIII (X = S, Se) and XII, respectively. Oxidation of 4-substituted-5-arylthio-1,2,3-selenadiazoles (XIV) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave 4-substituted-5-arylsulfinyl-1,2,3-selenadiazoles (XV) and 4-substituted-5-arylsulfonyl-1,2,3-selenadiazoles (XVI).     

Expeditious synthesis of new 1,2,3-thiadiazoles and 1,2,3-selenadiazoles from 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes via Hurd-Mori-type reactions

Alpha-substituted hydrazones obtained from 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes and methylenic or methinic activated substrates gave rise to a wide range of cyclic compounds. In particular, in the presence of thionyl chloride as solvent-reagent, they were transformed into 1,2,3-thiadiazoles,(1) with selenium oxychloride in new 4-substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,2,3-selenadiazoles, while with selenium dioxide, they were transformed into 4-substituted 1,2,3-selenadiazoles. We have also examined the nucleophilic behavior of 1,2,3-thiadiazole 4a in the reaction with 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes that produced, under basic conditions, 4-hydrazono-1-(1,2,3-thiadiazolyl)pentane derivatives. This event represents an interesting example of stereoselective synthesis because it leads exclusively to the formation of the RR/SS racemic mixture. These latter compounds, treated with thionyl chloride, gave the corresponding 1,3-di-1,2,3-thiadiazolylpropane derivatives, while with sodium methoxide they afforded 1,2,3-thiadiazolyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrole systems.     

Materials Chemistry of 1,2,3-Selenadiazoles

Abstract

The organic chemistry of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles has been explored to a greater extent due to the fact that the chemistry of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles mostly is driven by its facile decomposition via elimination of a nitrogen molecule and formation of selenaketocarben and/or its dimerization to 1,4-diselenin. The reactions of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles directly with various transition metal compounds have resulted in unique organo-selenium transition metal complexes. However, the materials chemistry of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles has not appeared in literature prior to the first publication on the subject from our laboratory in 2003. To, the best of our knowledge, no research group is engaged in such an activity. We, have exclusively explored the potential of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles for their effective utilization in synthesis of semiconductor nano particles or nano powder and in this lecture, the results and methodology for the same would be discussed.     

4-(2-Hydroxyaryl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles as Precursors of Benzofuran-2-selenolates

The reaction of selenium dioxide with o-hydroxyacetophenone semicarbazones gives 4-(2-hydroxyaryl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles which undergo ready decomposition by the action of potassium carbonate to form benzofuran-2-selenolates. The latter can be alkylated with methyl iodide and benzyl chloride and arylated with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene. Intermediate formation of 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)ethyneselenolate during decomposition of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles was proved by the isolation of methyl o-methoxyphenylethynyl selenide when the substrate was treated with potassium carbonate in the presence of methyl iodide.     

Selenium heterocycles. XXX. Synthesis of 4-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithioles and 5-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-thiaselenoles

Materials and biological applications of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles: a review

In recent years, chemistry of metal-nitrogen–bonded compounds have attracted tremendous attention mainly because of unusual properties resulting from such a bond involving carbon and other heteroatoms. M?N–bonded compounds, when containing group VI elements, especially selenium, has attracted great attention in materials chemistry. In addition, the increased interest in synthesis of N-containing bioactive compounds with other heteroatoms such as selenium, sulfur, etc is mainly because of their tremendous potential as antioxidants, additives, dyes for polymers, and as insecticides, in solvent extraction, and in nanotechnology. Thus, the synthesis and applications of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles have attracted recent interest of materials scientists, including nanotechnologists, pharmaceutical chemists, and organic chemists. The chemistry of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles is highly rich and has been practiced ever since its first report in 1972. Such N-containing Se-heterocycles form several types of selenadiazoles that are a rich source of selenium for semiconductor nanoparticles of metal selenides. The materials chemistry of such molecules has been documented for over three decades, and their great scope in semiconductors has emerged. This review article is an attempt to bring a variety of materials and biological application of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles for better understanding of the researchers.

Synthetic utility of stannyl enolates as radical alkylating agents

[reaction: see text] The radical-initiated beta-ketoalkylation of haloalkanes with tributylstannyl enolates is described. Stannyl enolates derived from aromatic ketones are reactive toward the homolytic beta-ketoalkylation of simple haloalkanes as well as those activated by an electron-withdrawing group. The reactivity of stannyl enolates as radical alkylating agents can be utilized for an efficient three-component coupling reaction among stannyl enolates, haloalkanes, and electron-deficient alkenes.
