O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate: A convenient, bench-stable and metal-free precursor of benzeneselenol

A study by our laboratory shows that air, light and moisture stable O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate could be employed as a safer, practical and efficient alternative to generate “in situ” benzeneselenol or benzeneselenolate anion under different and transition metal-free conditions. This procedure seems to be of general application since the nucleophilic selenium species obtained can be trapped by electrophiles such as alkyl halides, epoxides and electron-deficient alkenes and alkynes under different reaction conditions.

Herein we report a novel synthetic reaction to convert unactivated terminal aliphatic epoxide to alkyl vicinal dichloride based on triphosgene-pyridine activation. Our methodology is operationally simple and readily tolerated by a broad of scope of substrates as well as protecting groups. Furthermore, these mild conditions generally yield clean reaction mixtures that are free of byproducts upon aqueous workup.
Regioselective conversion of unsymmetrical terminal epoxides into vicinal chlorohydrins using dimethoxyboron chloride
Roy, Chandra D.

A highly regioselective synthesis of chlorohydrins by chlorinative cleavage of unsymmetrical epoxides utilizing dimethoxyboron chloride is described. Except for styrene oxide, all the terminal epoxides were regioselectively cleaved following a predominantly SN2-type reaction pathway favouring the formation of primary chlorides. In the case of styrene oxide, a benzylic epoxide, (MeO)2BCl transfers the chlorine at the benzylic position, by following an apparent SN1-type mechanism. CSIRO 2006.
