- A general and green procedure for the synthesis of organochalcogenides by CuFe2O4 nanoparticle catalysed coupling of organoboronic acids and dichalcogenides in PEG-400
-
A general and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of organochalcogenides (selenides and tellurides) by a simple reaction of organoboronic acids and dichalcogenides catalysed by CuFe2O 4 nanoparticles in PEG-400 without any ligand. This protocol offers the scope for access to a wide spectrum of chalcogenides including diaryl, aryl-heteroaryl, aryl-styrenyl, aryl-alkenyl, aryl-allyl, aryl-alkyl and aryl-alkynyl versions. The catalyst is magnetically separable and recyclable eight times without any loss of appreciable catalytic activity. The products are obtained in high purities after evaporation of solvent followed by filtration column chromatography. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

In MeCN, the direct or mediated cathodic reduction of unactivated ArBr (Ar = 4-biphenyl, 2-fluorenyl, 9-anthryl) in the presence of an equivalent of PhE- (E = Se, Te) leads to ArEPh in interesting isolated yields (53-74 %) by SNR1 substitution. The electrochemical synthesis of 9-phenylchalcogenoanthracene proceeds in better yields in MeCN than in DMSO. The 4,4′-disubstituted biphenyl PhSeC6H4C6H4SePh was prepared in 46 % yield in MeCN whereas its synthesis by photostimulation in liquid ammonia failed.
