- Silver-Catalyzed One-Pot Three-Component Selective Synthesis of β-Hydroxy Selenides
-
A convenient, multi-component reaction of organoboronic acids, selenium powder and epoxides has been developed, providing an efficient protocol for the synthesis of β-hydroxy selenides with excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through the silver-catalyzed radical selenation of the arylboronic acids to generate a diselenide, and subsequent selenium-mediated selective ring-opening arylselenation of epoxides. (Figure presented.).

- Copper-Catalyzed Oxirane-Opening Reaction with Aryl Iodides and Se Powder
-
Using Se powder as the selenating reagent, the copper-catalyzed double C-Se cross-coupling of aryl iodides, epoxides, and elemental selenium has been developed. This strategy provides a straightforward approach to the synthesis of β-hydroxy phenylselenides with excellent regioselectivity of the ring opening reaction. This process proceeds in generally good yields and is compatible with a broad range of functional groups.

- Tetrahydrofuran derivatives from epoxides via group transfer cyclization or reductive radical cyclization of organotellurium and organoselenium intermediates
-
Monosubstituted epoxides were regiospecifically ring-opened from the sterically least hindered side by benzenetellurolate and benzeneselenolate reagents to afford aryl β-hydroxyalkyl tellurides and selenides, respectively. These materials were O-allylated by treatment with allylic bromides/sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran and O-prop-2-ynylated when reacted with propargyl bromide/sodium hydride. On photolysis in benzene containing 40 mol % of hexabutylditin, the β-(allyloxy)alkyl aryl tellurides were found to undergo group transfer cyclization to afford 2-substituted 4-[(aryltelluro)methyl]tetrahydrofurans (cis/trans = 1/3-1/10). The aryl β-(prop-2-ynyloxy)alkyl tellurides similarly afforded 2-substituted 4-[(aryltelluro)methylene]tetrahydrofurans with an E/Z-ratio close to unity. The β-(allyloxy)alkyl aryl selenides and aryl β-(prop-2-ynyloxy)alkyl selenides failed to undergo group transfer cyclization. In the presence of tributyltin hydride and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, the former compounds were found to undergo reductive radical cyclization in high yields to afford 2-substituted 4-methyltetrahydrofurans (cis/trans = 1/3-1/10). Aryl β-(prop-2-ynyloxy)alkyl selenides similarly afforded 2-substituted 4-methylenetetrahydrofurans. 2-Alkoxy-2-(allyloxy)ethyl phenyl selenides, prepared by allyloxyselenenation of vinyl ethers, were found to undergo reductive radical cyclization to afford 2-alkoxy-4-methyltetrahydrofurans (cis/trans = 13-1/4). The preference for formation of trans-2,4-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans in the group transfer and reductive radical cyclizations was rationalized assuming a chairlike transition state with a preferred adoption of a pseudoequatorial position of the 2-substituent. By carrying out the reactions at lower temperatures (ambient or -45°C), using triethylborane as an initiator, it was possible to further increase the trans selectivity in the reductive cyclizations.
