Visible-Light-Promoted Selenylative Spirocyclization of Indolyl-ynones toward the Formation of 3-Selenospiroindolenine Anticancer Agents

A metal-free and efficient visible-light-induced spirocyclization of indolyl-ynones with diselenides at room temperature under air atmosphere to prepare 3-selenospiroindolenines in moderate to good yields has been developed. The resulting products were tested for in vitro anticancer activity by MTT assay, and compounds 3 c and 3 e showed potent cancer cell-growth inhibition activities.

Metal-free visible-light induced cyclization/substitution cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones and diselenides: Access to 5-hydroxy-3-selenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2: H -chromen-6(5 H)-ones

A simple and efficient Se-radical triggered cyclization/substitution cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones to afford 5-hydroxy-3-selenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2H-chromen-6(5H)-ones has been developed. This transformation via the 3,5-diselenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2H-chromen-6(5H)-one intermediate followed by hydrolysis in the presence of CsOAc affords the desired product 3. The resulting products were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity using MTT assay, and compounds 3e and 3q showed potent cancer cell-growth inhibition activities.

Simple and catalyst-free method for the synthesis of diaryl selenides by reactions of arylselenols and arenediazonium salts

We describe here a simple and catalyst-free method to synthesize diaryl selenides by reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts with arylselenols, generated in situ by using diaryl diselenides and hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2), using THF as solvent. This is a direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction performed with diaryl diselenides and arenediazonium salts bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups affording the corresponding diaryl selenides in moderated to good yields.
