We report herein a practical method to generate CFSe (and RSe) anions from shelf-stable reagents under iodide activation. Metal-free nucleophilic trifluoromethylselenolations have been then performed with this in situ-generated anion. Perfluoroalkylselenolations have also been described.

Hydrosilanes and Lewis bases are known to promote various reductive defunctionalizations, rearrangements, and silylation reactions, facilitated by enigmatic silicon/Lewis base-derived reactive intermediates. Despite the wide variety of transformations enabled by this reagent combination, no examples of intermolecular C(sp3)-C(sp3) forming reactions have been reported. In this work, we've identified 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and KOtBu as a unique reagent combination capable of generating benzylic nucleophiles in-situ from styrene derivatives, which can subsequently react with alkyl halides to give a new C(sp3)-C(sp3) linkage via formal hydroalkylation.

Carbenes in general and isolable NHCs (N-heterocyclic carbenes) in particular have been useful ligands in recent years. The emergence of CAACs [cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbenes], BICAACs [bicyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbenes], and many other carbenes has marked revolutionary milestones in this field. These carbenes possess an intriguing blend of highly electrophilic and nucleophilic characteristics, owing to their remarkably narrow HOMO-LUMO energy gap.

We report the development of an azanide (NH) surrogate which enables the facile conversion of electron-deficient (hetero)aryl halides into primary N-aryl amines under transition-metal-free conditions. The designed amidine reagent is easy to prepare, bench stable, and undergoes facile N-arylation under basic conditions at 40 °C. Intermediate N-aryl amidines are readily cleaved to form N-aryl amines in situ through hydrolysis or base-promoted elimination.
