Synthesis of selenoxides by oxidation of selenides with superoxide radical anions and 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride
摘要:
Alkyl phenyl selenoxides were produced in excellent yields by oxidation of the corresponding selenides with 2-nitro-benzenesulfonyl chloride and potassium superoxide in dry acetonitrile at -15 degrees C. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Integrated electrochemical reactors in automated flow systems were utilised for selenenylation reactions. The automation allowed multiple electrochemical reactions of a programmed sequence to be performed in a fully autonomous way. Many functionalised selenenylated products were synthesised in short reaction times in good to high yields.
Oxidation of Diphenyl Diselenide with 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). A New Method for the Electrophilic Phenylselenenylation of Alkenes under Mild Conditions
The oxidation of diphenyl diselenide with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) represents a convenient mild method to produce a strongly electrophilic phenylselenium reagent. Clean phenylseleno methoxylations and hydroxylations of alkenes containing different types of functional groups can be effected by working in methanol or in acetonitrile and water, respectively. This new electrophilic reagent can also be employed to promote efficient cyclization reactions of alkenols to tetrahydrofurans or of alkenoic acids to lactones.
