Article Abstract
A novel and versatile method for -C-H selenylation of aromatic compounds bearing ketone groups, including chromones, xanthones, acridinones, quinolinones and naphthoquinones with diselenides under Ru(II) catalysis is presented. Various chromones and diselenides are applicable for this transformation, affording 5-selenyl chromones in a highly regioselective manner in good to excellent yields. This transformation is easy to scale up and the desired products can be further modified. Most importantly, this transformation allows the late-stage selenylation of bioactive compounds. Mechanistic studies show that radicals may be involved in this novel transformation.

Energy-transfer-enabled photocatalytic transformations of aryl thianthrenium salts.

Aryl thianthrenium salts are valuable in photocatalysis but traditionally require external electron donors for activation. This study introduces an energy transfer (EnT) strategy for the activation of aryl thianthrenium salts using 2,3,4,5,6-penta(carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (5CzBN) as a metal-free photocatalyst, eliminating the need for external donors. Utilizing this EnT approach, we achieve C-H deuteration of arenes under visible light with CDCl as a deuterium source to synthesize various deuterated aromatic compounds, including important natural products and pharmaceuticals.

In the realm of organic synthesis, direct C-H alkynylation with arylacetylenes has remained a daunting challenge due to competing annulations or alkenylation. Addressing this long-standing issue, herein we demonstrate the merging of copper and photocatalysis to achieve the elusive C-H alkynylation of benzamides using arylacetylenes or arylpropiolic acids. Unlike conventional copper-mediated C-H activations, our protocol circumvents the need for high temperatures and stoichiometric amounts of copper salts or metal/non-metal oxidants.

Article Synopsis
- Regioselective C-H functionalization of pyridines is difficult due to their electronic properties, but this study presents a strategy for selective modifications at the C3 position using N-2,4-dinitrophenyl Zincke imine intermediates under mild conditions.
- The research involves radical inhibition and DFT calculations, showing thiolation and selenylation occur through a radical pathway, while fluorination follows a two-electron substitution mechanism.
- The study highlights the importance of the electron-deficient N-DNP group for enhancing the reaction's efficiency and also demonstrates the method's effectiveness in large-scale synthesis and modifying pharmaceutical compounds.

By employing elemental selenium as the selenium source, we have realized the amidine-directed Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H selenylation/[5 + 1] annulation for the direct construction of structurally novel selenadiazine, benzoselenadiazine, and benzoselenazol-3-amine frameworks with specific site selectivity and good functional group tolerance. Besides, the obtained products can serve as fundamental platforms for subsequent chemical transformations, and thus, the feasible SeNEx reaction, SeNEx/Michael addition, and simple conversion of the selenadiazine product into diverse other organoselenium molecules were demonstrated accordingly. Taken together, the developed methodology efficiently expands the chemical space of organoselenium species.

The palladium-catalysed regioselective C-H chalcogenation of benzoxazines with disulfides and diselenides in air has been described. In this protocol, palladium acetate serves as the catalyst in conjunction with copper as an oxidizing agent. Through this approach, a wide array of sulfenylation and selenylation reactions of benzomorpholines have been effected, yielding results ranging from good to excellent.
