三溴化金催化端炔与二芳基二硒醚反应合成炔基硒醚

炔基硒醚是合成一些有机硒化合物的重要起始物。本文研究发现,在三溴化金(Au Br3)催化下,端位炔和二芳基二硒醚在弱碱(如碳酸钾)存在下反应,生成炔基芳基硒醚,产率为69%~98%;在空气参与下,于80℃下进行反应,反应条件简单,且二硒醚的两个硒原子均可以被利用。二甲基亚砜(DMSO)是合适的溶剂,在极性较小的溶剂(如甲苯、四氢呋喃)中,此反应不能进行。芳基炔(如苯乙炔、对甲基苯乙炔、对氯苯乙炔等)、烯基炔(如环己烯乙炔)和烷基炔(如1-壬炔)均能顺利进行此反应。当芳基炔苯环的间位或邻位连有取代基时,反应产率较低(69%~82%),而对位无论是连有吸电子基还是给电子基,该反应均可以得到很高的产率(95%)。

Synthesis, structural, spectroscopic and electrochemical studies of carborane substituted naphthyl selenides

New unsymmetrical selenides bearing an o-carborane and a naphthalene ring as the substituents were prepared by the cleavage of the corresponding diselenides. The compounds were characterized by means of spectroscopic and analytical methods. (77)Se NMR signals of the selenium atoms attached to the carbon atoms of the carborane cages are shifted downfield in comparison to those bonded only to the aromatic rings, indicating an electron withdrawing effect of the o-carboranyl substituent. Compounds 1-(2-R-1,2-dicarba-closo-carboranyl)naphthyl selenides (R = Me, 1; Ph, 2) were characterized by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The influence of the electronic nature of the substituents attached to the selenium atoms on the structural parameters and packing properties of naphthyl selenides are discussed. Theoretical calculations and cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies were carried out to compare the bonding nature of carboranyl and analogous aryl selenium compounds. Cyclic voltammetry studies of naphthyl carboranyl mono and diselenides have shown that the carboranyl fragment polarizes the Se lone pair making it less prone to generate a Se-Se bond.

This is a direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction performed with diaryl diselenides and arenediazonium salts bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups affording the corresponding diaryl selenides in moderated to good yields.

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 NaBH₄ 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.     

An indium-TMSCl promoted reaction of diphenyl diselenides and aldehydes: novel routes to selenoacetals and alkyl phenyl selenides

The reaction of diphenyl diselenides with aldehydes in the presence of In-TMSCl has been investigated. Aliphatic aldehydes provide the corresponding selenoacetals, whereas aromatic aldehydes lead predominantly to alkyl phenyl selenides under the same reaction conditions. This constitutes a new approach for the synthesis of selenoacetals and selenides from aldehydes.     

Thermal reactions of organyl chalcogenides with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes

Thermal gas-phase reactions of acrolein, cinnamaldehyde, and benzaldehyde with diorganyl chalcogenides and diorganyl dichalcogenides were studied. Acrolein does not react with chalcogenides at 300–600°C but completely decomposes under reaction conditions. At 600–650°C, cinnamaldehyde reacts only with diorganyl selenides and diselenides to give benzoselenophene. Its highest yield (53%) is achieved in the reaction with dimethyl diselenide at 630°C and at an equimolar ratio of the reactant. The gas-phase reactions of benzaldehyde at 400–500°C afford chalcogen-containing derivatives of several types, among which thioanisole and its selenium or tellurium analogs predominate. The mechanisms of the above reactions were discussed in terms of homolytic substitution of the formyl group at unsaturated carbon atoms by chalcogenyl radicals.     

Visible light-promoted,iodine-catalyzed selenoalkoxylation of olefins with diselenides and alcohols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide/air oxidant: an efficient access to <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>-alkoxyl selenides

Under iodine-catalyzed and visible light-irradiated aerobic conditions, selenoalkoxylation of olefins with diselenides and alcohols can be efficiently achieved to afford the useful α-alkoxyl selenides in the presence of only 0.5 equiv. of H₂O₂. Controlling the sub-stoichiometric H₂O₂ amount is crucial to avoid the non-selective over-oxidation of the diselenides that leads to the ineffective hyper-valent selenium compounds. Meanwhile, under visible light irradiation, the green, safe, and low-cost air can work as a supplemental mild oxidant in the reaction to ensure selective oxidation of the diselenides, full conversion of the reactants, and ultimately good yield of the products.

Diphenyl diselenides and disulfides undergo facile cleavages by indium(I) iodide and the corresponding generated selenate and thiolate anions condense in situ with alkyl or acyl halides present in the reaction mixture. Thus, a simple, efficient, and general procedure has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides, sulfides (thioethers), selenoesters, and thioesters by this one-pot reaction at room temperature.
