    查看更多>>摘要:Selenium dioxide is traditionally regarded as an oxidant and rather as a selenium source for making organseliums.Herein,we developed a new selenation method by using selenium dioxide instead of commonly used selenium powder or diselenides to generate Se-substituted imidazoheterocycle and aniline compounds.Furthermore,sodium arenesulfinates were selected as coupling partners instead of traditional aromatic halides.All reactions give desired products in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.

    查看更多>>摘要:In recent years,coupling reactions mediated by visible light have been widely studied because such reactions can often be run at significantly lower temperatures.In this work,aryl iodides were coupled with amines at ambient temperature in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of carbon monoxide using visible-light irradiation and palladium catalysis.A wide range of aryl substrates,both electron-deficient and rich,as well as heterocycles,were carbonylated to provide the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields based on CO.In addition,the generality of the amine was investigated,and primary and secondary amines yielded the desired products in moderate to good yields.This methodology was also successfully applied to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and the incorporation of a carbon-14 label into the carbonyl group,where the use of 9-methyl-fluorene-9-carbonyl chloride(COgen)as the carbon isotope-labeled CO source allowed easy translation between the unlabeled and the labeled transformations.
