Hydroselenation of alkynes using NaBH4/BMIMBF4: easy access to vinyl selenides

A general and easy method for the synthesis of several vinyl selenides using NaBH₄ and BMIMBF₄ as a recyclable solvent is described. This efficient and improved method furnishes the corresponding vinyl chalcogenides preferentially with Z configuration. We also observed that when the same protocol was applied to phenyl acetylene, (E)-bis-phenylseleno styrene was obtained in good yield and with high selectivity.     

Polystyrene-supported Benzyl Selenide: An Efficient Reagent for Highly Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Substituted Olefins

Solid-phase methodology has been rapidly and extensively applied to the preparation of small organic molecules recently1. It might be argued that selenoxide syn-elimination provided the principal impetus for the development of organoselenium chemistry. In addition, the required selenoxides are readily available from the oxidation of the corresponding selenides, which in turn can be prepared by the reaction of selenium-stabilized carbanions with various electrophilic substrates2. However, or…     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur des ersten polymeren Phosphorselenids catena-(P4Se4)x

Preparation and Crystal Structure of the First Polymeric Phosphorus Selenide catena-(P₄Se₄)_x Catena-(P₄Se₄)_x was prepared in crystalline form from the elements using iodine as a catalyst, and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Single-crystal investigations (space group P2₁/c, a = 1 119.2(3), b = 728.2(2), c = 1 142.5(3) pm, β = 115.91(2)°, V = 837.5(7) · 10⁶ pm³) revealed parallel chains of P₄Se₃ hetero-norbornane units linked via Se atoms. Thus, being the first phosphorus selenide which does not contain discrete molecules, catena-(P₄Se₄)_x can be regarded as a polymeric form of α-P₄Se₄ or as a crystalline modification of vitrous phosphorus selenide.     

A configuration interaction study of phosphine using bonded functions

A computational study is made of the effect of basis set upon the energy, properties and inversion barrier of the phosphine molecule. The calculations are performed at both the SCF and CI level. The flexibility of the double zeta basis is discussed in the light of the results.     

Chiral Phosphinophenyloxazolines Bearing Alkoxymethyl Substituents: Synthesis and Application in the Palladium Catalyzed Allylic Substitution Reactions

The chiral phosphine‐oxazoline ligands 3 and 4 bearing 4‐alkoxymethyl substituents on the oxazoline ring with (R)‐configuration were prepared from L‐serine methyl ester in 66% and 33% yields, respectively. Along this synthetic pathway, the β‐hydroxylamides derived from L‐serine methyl ester and 2‐halobenzoyl chlorides were expediently converted to the corresponding oxazolines by using diethylaminosulfur trifluoride as the activation agent. Potassium diphenylphosphide was the reagent of choice for replacing the bromine atom on the phenyl ring, giving the desired oxazoline‐phosphine ligands 3 and 4 . Together with [Pd(η³‐allyl)Cl]₂, ligands 3 and 4 induced an enantioselective allylic substitution reaction of 1,3‐diphenyl‐2‐pro‐penyl acetate by dimethyl malonate. Although ligands 3 and 4 exhibit the (R)‐configuration, differing from the (S)‐configuration of Pfaltz‐Helmchen‐Williams phosphine‐oxazoline ligands, all these ligands led to the same enantiotopic preference in the allylic substitution reaction. To facilitate the recovery and reuse of the phosphine‐oxazoline ligand, immobilization on Merrifield resin was attempted, albeit in low loading.

Copper(I) and silver(I) complexes of bridging bis(quinaldinyl)phenylphosphine oxide ligand

Abstract

A novel tertiary phosphine oxide containing two quinaldinyl substituents has been synthesized according to adapted literature procedures. Its coordination properties toward Cu(I) and Ag(I) were investigated and the resulting complexes were analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Multinuclear complexes are formed, wherein the ligand is bridging across two metal centers. Though for the silver complex, no argentophilic interactions are present. The copper complex was characterized further by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy at variable temperatures.     

Syntheses, Structures, and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Two Crown-like Heteroselenometallic Compounds [Et4N]4[(μ5-WSe4)(CuX)5(μ-X)2] (X = Cl, Br)

Two isostructural crown-like heteroselenometallic cluster compounds, [Et₄N]₄[(μ₅-WSe₄)(CuX)₅(μ-X)₂] (X = Cl 1, Br 2), were prepared from the reactions of [Et₄N]₂[WSe₄] with CuX and [Et₄N]X· xH₂O in the presence of 2-picoline and characterized by single-crystal diffraction analysis. The [(μ₅-WSe₄)(Cu-X)₅(μ-X)₂]⁴⁻ anions in the cluster compounds consists of five CuX fragments coordinated to the five edges of the tetrahedral [WSe₄]²⁻ moiety along with two bridging halides connected to each of the two pairs of the symmetric copper atoms, exhibiting a novel crown-like core structure. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of cluster compound 2 were determined to be α₂ = 6.15 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/W and n ₂ = 4.18 × 10⁻¹¹ esu, respectively.     

Dendritic encapsulation-roles of cores and branches

Examples of new dendrimers are presented. In the first, the effect on electron transfer rate attenuation is investigated for two dendrimer isomers that differ only in the linkage (ortho- versus meta-linked) of the phenyl ether units within one generation of the structure. Second, the effect of encapsulation on electrochemical and luminescence behavior of a new type of rhenium selenide cluster core dendrimer is illustrated.     

Novel Electroless Deposition of Cu<Subscript>3</Subscript>Se<Subscript>2</Subscript> Film on Silicon Substrate by a Simple Galvanic Displacement Process

A novel electroless deposition method for depositing highly uniform adhesive thin films of copper selenide (Cu₃Se₂) on silicon substrates from aqueous solutions is described. The deposition is carried out by two coupled galvanic reactions in a single deposition bath containing copper cations, hydrogen fluoride, and selenous acid: the galvanic deposition of copper on silicon and the subsequent galvanic reaction between the deposited copper with selenous acid in the deposition bath. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to characterize and examine the deposited films.
