Thieno[3,2-]thiophenes are used as key components in optoelectronic materials, porous hydrogen-storage hosts, organic solar cells, and polymer semiconductors. A step-efficient synthetic protocol was proposed herein for obtaining multisubstituted thieno[3,2-]thiophene and selenopheno[3,2-]selenophenes in moderate to good yields via the bisulfur/biselenium cyclization of alkynyl diols with I/NaSO or selenium. Using this strategy, substitution patterns were obtained for backbone modification in functional materials.

Herein, we report a AgF-mediated regio- and stereoselective acetoxyselenylation of terminal/internal alkynes from iodobenzene dicarboxylate [PhI(OCOR)] and diorganyl diselenides via multiple-site functionalization to afford β-selenyl enol esters in good yields. Alkynes derived from bioactive molecules, such as l(-)-borneol, l-menthol, and acyne oxalate, are also suitable for this transformation and afford the expected compounds.

Herein, we report a silver-catalyzed halogenation and electrophilic cyclization reaction based on the trifunctionalization of terminal alkynols with NBS or iodine monochloride in a step-efficient synthetic way to produce homo/heterodihalogenated naphthalene derivatives bearing two different halogen atoms in moderate to good yields. This methodology readily accommodates various functional groups, including electron-withdrawing nitro, cyano, acid-sensitive dioxazolyl, and alkoxy groups.

Thioethers are critical in the fields of pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis, but most of the methods for synthesis alkyl thioethers employ foul-smelling thiols as starting materials or generate them as by-products. Additionally, most thiols are air-sensitive and are easily oxidized to produce disulfides under atmospheric conditions; thus, a novel method for synthesizing thioethers is necessary. This paper reports a simple, effective, green method for synthesizing dialkyl or alkyl aryl thioether derivatives using odorless, stable, low-cost ROCSK as a thiol surrogate.

With alkyl halides (I, Br, Cl) as a coupling partner, an electrochemically driven strategy for para-selective C(sp)-H alkylation of electron-deficient arenes (aryl esters, aldehydes, nitriles, and ketones) has been achieved to access diverse alkylated arenes in one step. The reaction enables the activation of alkyl halides in the absence of sacrificial anodes, achieving the formation of C(sp)-C(sp) bonds under mild electrolytic conditions. The utility of this protocol is reflected in high site selectivity, broad substrate scope, and scalable.

A new approach is proposed for the divergent and regioselective synthesis of ()-2-bromo-1-phenylvinyl trifluoromethanesulfonates through alkyne difunctionalization by employing a compatible system of abundantly available alkynes, -bromosuccinimide (NBS), and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) catalyzed by ruthenium(III) acetate [Ru(OAc)]. It is a novel method for the preparation of vinyl triflate and it offers a fundamental basis for the development of advanced functional compounds, including drugs and organic functional materials. Unlike previously reported methods, the proposed protocol can tolerate a broad range of functional groups.

Herein, the Pd -catalyzed construction of functionalized dihaloalkenynes from haloalkynes via a self-haloalkynylation reaction, without specialized ligands or oxidizing additives, is reported. The method tolerates a diverse range of haloalkynes, including electron-donating and electron-withdrawing functional groups, such as macrocyclic alkynols, spiro-oxy ring alkynols, and even carbazole-containing, pyrrolidine-2,5-dione-containing and silyl-protected bromoalkynes. Using an opposite lithium halide (LiX) to the haloalkyne starting material, remarkably high regio- and stereoselectivity of the haloalkynylation reaction is possible, yielding 1-bromo-2-chloroalkenyne or 2-bromo-1-chloroalkenyne products as desired.
