The reaction of alcohols with selenium and isocyanides in the presence of DBU gave oxyimidoylselenoates 6. Trapping of 6 with BuI resulted in high-yield formation of selenocarbonimidates 4. When alk-2-yn-1-ols 9 were allowed to react with selenium and isocyanides under similar conditions, new selenium-containing heterocycles 10, 2-imino-4-alkylidene-1,3-oxaselenolanes, were obtained via cycloaddition of oxyimidoylselenoates 13 generated in situ by intramolecular addition of selenolates to carbon-carbon triple bonds.

Exploring efficient and low-toxicity radiosensitizers to break through the bottleneck of radiation tolerance, immunosuppression and poor prognosis remains one of the critical developmental challenges in radiotherapy. Nanoheterojunctions, due to their unique physicochemical properties, have demonstrated excellent radiosensitization effects in radiation energy deposition and in lifting tumor radiotherapy inhibition. Herein, they doped selenium (Se) into prussian blue (PB) to construct a nano-heterojunction (Se@PB), which could promote the increase of Fe/Fe ratio and conversion of Se to a high valence state with Se introduction.

2-Aminobenzothiazoles are commonly encountered in various functional compounds. Herein, we disclose an electro-oxidative three-component reaction for the effective synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles under mild conditions, utilizing non-toxic and abundant elemental sulfur as the sulfur source. Both aliphatic amines and aryl amines demonstrate good compatibility at room temperature, highlighting the broad functional group tolerance of this approach.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with few risk factors identified and no known cure. Gene-environment interaction is hypothesized especially for sporadic ALS cases (90-95%) which are of unknown etiology. We aimed to investigate risk factors for ALS including exposure to ambient air toxics.

Access to 2-thio/selenoquinolines domino reaction of isocyanides with sulfur and selenium in water.

A domino reaction of -alkenylaryl isocyanides with elemental sulfur and selenium in pure water was developed for the efficient and green synthesis of quinoline-2-thione and diquinolyl diselenide derivatives. Mechanistical investigation reveals that intramolecular nucleophilic addition of an alkenyl group to the generated isothio/isoselenocyanate accounts for the formation of a quinoline-ring. Moreover, this transformation is also amendable for the convenient preparation of 2-fluoromethylthio-/seleno-quinolines by a one-pot three-component reaction.
