Combination of iron(III) chloride and diorganyl diselenides was used for cyclization of arylpropiolates and arylpropiolamides in formation of 3-organoselenyl-2H-coumarins and 3-organoselenyl-quinolinones, respectively. Systematic study to determine the ideal conditions revealed that the two substrates reacted in the same way using identical reaction conditions. The versatility of this method has been demonstrated by extension of the best reaction conditions to substrate having a variety of substituents. Analyses of the optimization reaction also showed that diorganyl diselenides have a dual role by acting as cycling agent and base to restore the aromatic system. Mechanistic investigation studies and analyses of the products obtained have revealed that the cyclization reactions follow an initial 6-endo-dig process to give the six-membered heterocycles without involving an intramolecular ipso-cyclization route.

Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) stands as an attractive approach for the synthesis, engineering, and integration of conjugated polymers for advanced electronic and optoelectronic applications. In oCVD, the oxidant significantly influences the conformational and optoelectronic properties of the resulting conjugated polymer thin films. In this work, triflate salts of iron(III) and copper(II) (Fe(OTf) and Cu(OTf), respectively) are investigated for the first time as suitable alternative oxidants to the widely used iron(III) chloride (FeCl) for the oCVD of conjugated polymers.

Reported herein is a new reaction for glycosylation with thioglycosides in the presence of iron(III) chloride. Previously, FeCl was used for the activation of thioglycosides as a Lewis acid co-promoter paired with NIS. In the reported process, although 5.
