The translocation of an aryl group from selenium into carbon enabled by the cleavage of the C-Se bond is reported by using nitrogen atom-linked 1,7-diynes and diaryl diselenides as starting materials, leading to various selenophene derivatives in a regioselective manner. This method enables the construction of two C-Se bonds and two C-C bonds through sequential radical bicyclization and 1,2-aryl migration under metal-free conditions. Control experiments and mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction proceeds through the cleavage of the inert C(Ph)-Se bond, facilitating the aryl translocation process. This transformation enables the one-step conversion of simple diselenides into diverse selenopheno[3,4-]quinolines via a radical-promoted process, holding significant potential for new seleniferous heterocycles.

The photocatalyzed radical-triggered thio/selenosulfonylation-bicyclization of indole-tethered 1,6-enynes has been established for the first time, enabling the synthesis of various previously unreported thio/selenosulfonylated benzo[]pyrrolo[1,2,3-]carbazoles with moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The reaction pathway was proposed, consisting of energy transfer, homolytic cleavage, radical addition, 5--, radical coupling, and a Mallory reaction cascade. This approach exhibits a wide substrate compatibility and excellent tolerability toward various functional groups and is characterized by its remarkable efficiency in both bond formation and annulation.

New radical-triggered three-component bicyclization cascades of 2-alkynyl aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates with a sulfur dioxide surrogate DABCO·(SO) and internal alkynes such as haloalkynes and ynones have been reported for the first time, leading to 49 examples of polycyclic sulfones with moderate to good yields and high levels of regioselectivity. This transformation initiated by an in situ generated arylsulfonyl radical proceeds efficiently under mild and neutral redox conditions, which provide an easy and metal-free pathway toward the formation of a range of richly decorated indeno[1,2-c]thiochromene 5,5-dioxides.
