Abstract

A new and convenient one-pot method for a catalytic addition−elimination reaction using selenium electrophiles has been developed. In the presence of 5 mol % diphenyl diselenide, [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene in acetonitrile converted a range of (E)-3-butenoic acids into the corresponding butenolides in good yields.

Selenide Ions as Catalysts for Homo- and Crossed-Tishchenko Reactions of Expanded Scope
Simon P. Curran and Stephen J. ConnonOrganic Letters2012 Article ASAPSelenide Ions as Catalysts for Homo- and Crossed-Tishchenko Reactions of Expanded Scope
Simon P. Curran and Stephen J. ConnonOrganic Letters2012 Article ASAPSelenide ions have been shown to catalyze the Tishchenko reaction for the first time. These catalysts are superior to previously reported thiolate analogues and promote the disproportionation of aldehydes with increased reaction rates and broader scope at ...
