A 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) catalyzed selenocyclization of olefinic amides was achieved under mild reaction conditions. The reaction formed various benzeneselenyl substituted isobenzofuran-1(3H)-imine derivatives in good yields. The product was determined using single-crystal X-ray analysis. For compound 2u, the relative stereochemistry was established on the basis of NOESY NMR studies.

Electrophotocatalysis Versus Indirect Electrolysis: Electrochemical Selenocyclization of 3-Aza-1,5-dienes Facilitated by Energy Transfer, Direct Photolysis or N-Hydroxyphthalimide.

Three hybrid electrochemical protocols, which involve the energy transfer, direct photolysis and N-hydroxyphthalimide catalyst, respectively, are presented for the selenylation/cyclization of the fragile substrates of 3-aza-1,5-dienes with diorganyl diselenides to afford 3-selenomethyl-4-pyrrolin-2-ones. The two electrophotocatalytic reactions and the indirect electrolysis one are both regioselective and external-oxidant- and transition-metal-free, and are associated with a broad substrate scope and high Se-economy, and all three methods are amenable to gram-scale syntheses, late-stage functionalizations, sunlight-induced experiments and all-solar-driven syntheses.

An enantioselective selenocyclization of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes was achieved for the first time, which is enabled by a novel combination of a chiral BINAM-derived sulfide and an achiral Lewis acid. Various selenium-containing 4-3,1-benzoxazines, which are widely present in a range of medicinally relevant molecules, were readily obtained in moderate to good yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities. A series of tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters were facilely constructed.

Arene-fused selenophenes were synthesized by a redox neutral process from arylethynyl substituted polycyclic arenes using selenium powder in refluxing -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) with the assistance of the residual water in NMP as a catalytic proton source. The site-selective nature of this selenocyclization produces -alkenes as a competitive product, which is dependent on the π-electron donation ability of polycyclic arenes and the kind of arylethynyl group attached to it. DFT calculations were performed to understand the site selectivity in the selenophene formation reaction.

A synthesis of allahabadolactone A is described employing diastereoselective Diels-Alder and selenocyclization reactions, starting from (R)-citronellal and propylene oxide. The Diels-Alder substrate is built up in an efficient manner by rhodium-catalyzed alkyne hydroboration and palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of E-1,2-dichloroethene. It is observed that the Diels-Alder reaction only displays high diastereoselectivity when the diene bears an additional alkene substituent but not an alkyne substituent.
