A new protocol was developed to synthesize (enantioenriched) thioethers and selenoethersfrom (chiral) benzylic trimethylammonium salts and di(hetero)aryl disulfides or diselenides. These syntheses were promoted by the presence of weak base and did not require the use of any transition metal, and resulted in the target products with good to excellent yields (72–94%).

An efficient and selective approach to the synthesis of selenide ethers containing one or two geminal C–Se bonds from readily available diselenides and phenylacetic acids was developed. Compounds containing one C–Se bond were prepared by employing air as the oxidant under metal-free conditions, whereas compounds having two geminal C–Se bonds were formed via the iron(III) chloride/oxygen/cesium carbonate
已开发出一种有效的,选择性的方法,可以从容易获得的二硒化物和苯乙酸合成含一个或两个双键C-Se键的硒醚。通过在无金属条件下将空气用作氧化剂来制备包含一个C-Se键的化合物,而通过氯化铁(III)/氧/碳酸铯(FeCl 3 / O 2)形成具有两个双键C-Se键的化合物。/ Cs 2 CO 3)系统。此外,在标准反应条件下,1,2-二苯基二硫烷也可以平稳地转化为相应的硫醚产物。
Flash Pyrolysis of Selenides. Syntheses of Bibenzyls, Olefins, and Related Compounds
bibenzyls and related ethane derivatives in high yields. Other diselenides were easily caused to cleave to give various aromatic and aliphatic olefins in good yields together with elemental selenium. Lepidopterene, [2.2]paracyclophane, and benzocyclobutene were prepared by thermal cleavage of their corresponding phenylselenomethyl-substituted compounds as an application of the pyrolysis concerned.
The flash vacuum pyrolysis of benzyl phenyl selenides gave bibenzyls and diphenyl diselenide in excellent yields. This type of reaction was successfully applied to the synthesis of the title compounds.
An iridium-catalyzed selenium-directed ortho-C–H borylation of benzyl selenide derivatives was successfully developed. This is the first example where selenium is used as a directing group in C–H borylation. The reaction was carried out using the tricyclohexylphosphine ligand for an improved catalytic efficiency. Various substrates were tolerated and afforded either ortho-monoborylated products (substrates
