Oxy- and aminoselenation of alkenes utilizing an isolable selenenyl iodide

摘要

Application of an isolable selenenyl iodide BpqSeI (Bpq denotes 5',5"'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6,2"",6''''-tetraisopropyl-1,1':3',1":3",1"':3"',1""-quinquephenyl-2"-yl) to selenofunctionalization of alkenes with external oxygen or nitrogen nucleophiles was investigated. In the presence of N-iodosuccinimide as an additive, alcohols, a carboxylic acid, or aromatic amines were smoothly introduced to alkenes to give the corresponding 13-oxy or 13-amino selenides in moderate to high yields.
