Published: November 2017

An efficient and convenient copper-catalyzed chalcogenation of imidazoheterocycles with sulfur/selenium powder and coumarinyl triflates has been described. This procedure provides a wide range of structurally diverse coumarinylthio-/coumarinylseleno-substituted imidazoheterocycles in good yields and with good functional group tolerance. Biological evaluation showed that the newly synthesized compound 6d possesses significant in vitro antiproliferative activities against human-derived esophageal, breast, stomach, and prostate cancer cell lines compared with the positive control, 5-fluorouracil.

A novel copper-catalyzed cyclization/chalcogenation of -alkynylphenols with epoxides and elemental S/Se was developed for the synthesis of a 3-chalcogen-benzofuran architecture in a domino process with no intermediate isolation or purification. Various sensitive functional groups were compatible at room temperature and furnished chalcogenation derivatives in moderate to good yields.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis encompassing the synthesis, structural elucidation, photophysical behavior, and electrochemical properties of a novel series of chalcogen-naphthoquinone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids. Employing a meticulously designed protocol, the synthesis of these hybrids, denoted as 11a-j, was achieved with remarkable efficiency (yielding up to 81%). This synthesis used a regioselective copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC).

A new series of unsymmetrical phenyl tellurides derived from 2-N-(quinolin-8-yl) benzamide ligand has been synthesized in a practical manner by the copper-catalyzed method by using diaryl ditelluride and Mg as a reductant at room temperature. In order to augment the Lewis acidity of these newly formed unsymmetrical monotellurides, these have been transformed into corresponding unsymmetrical 2-N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzamide tellurium cations. Subsequently, these Lewis acidic tellurium cations were used as chalcogen bonding catalysts, enabling the synthesis of various substituted 1,2-dihydroquinolines by activating ketones with anilines under mild conditions.

A palladium-catalyzed distal C(sp)-H chalcogenation of biphenyl amines is described. This protocol demonstrates scalability, excellent chemo- and regio-selectivity, and broad functional group tolerance, providing efficient access to valuable aryl chalcogenides. Notably, the chalcogenated biphenyl amines could be further transformed to 8-membered N, Se(S)-heterocycles through copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-N cyclization.
