Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroselenophene and Selenophene Derivatives by Electrophilic Cyclization of Homopropargyl Selenides
摘要:
The synthesis of several highly functionalized 2,3-dihydroselenophenes from homopropargyl selenides via electrophilic cyclization is described. Electrophiles such as 12, ICI, and PhSeBr were used in a simple process employing CH2Cl2 as solvent at room temperature, which gave the cyclized products in high yields. 4-lodo-2,3-dihydroselenophenes obtained by this methodology were submitted to a dehydrogenation reaction using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) to give 3-iodoselenophenes. 4-lodo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydroselenophene was also submitted to the thiol copper-catalyzed and Heck-type reactions giving the desired products under mild reaction conditions.

Here we present our results in palladium cross-coupling reaction of aryl boronic acids with 4-iodo-2, 3-dihydroselenophene derivatives. The cross-coupled products were obtained in satisfactory yields. A dehydrogenation of 4,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydroselenophene was activated by DDQ and the 2,3-diarylselenophene was obtained in good yield. Regarding the antioxidant activity, the selenophene derivative 3a was effective in counteracting lipid and protein oxidation as well as scavenging ABTS radical. The findings of the present study indicate that 3a is a prototype for future drug development programs to treat disorders mediated by reactive oxygen species. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
