efficient method for the synthesis of β-hydroxy selenides is reported at room temperature in impressive yields for the first time by the highly the regioselective ring-opening of oxiranes with benzeneselenol in water under supramolecular catalysis in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. This is a direct one-pot synthesis of β-hydroxy selenides under mild conditions usingwater as solvent and has many advantages
convenient method for hydroxyselenation of olefins so far reported. When the reaction was applied to conjugated dienes, monohydroxyselenated products were obtained in good to excellent yields. From non-conjugated dienes, on the other hand, cyclic ethers containing two phenylseleno groups were produced in good to excellent yields, the first step of this reaction being the hydroxyselenation of one double bond
valuable β-hydroxy aryl selenides from easily available arylamines, elemental selenium, and epoxides through a transition-metal-free radical process is described. A wide variety of β-hydroxy aryl selenides were obtained in good to excellent yields with excellent stereo- and regioselectivity. In this reaction, two C–Se bonds can be built along with the cleavage of a C–N and C–O bond, demonstrating the
In this communication we report the synthesis and the characterization of the first solid and air-stable selenolates, starting from commercially available phenylselenenyl halides and elemental zinc. These reagents were efficiently employed in the ring opening of epoxides as well as in other nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions showing an unexpected rate acceleration in water suspension
Tetrathiomolybdate provides an easy access to beta-hydroxy disulfides, beta-hydroxy sulfides, and selenides from epoxides in a tandem, multistep process in one pot. This strategy has been utilized effectively in the construction of thiabicylo[3.2.2]nonane derivative 24.
