Silver-Catalyzed Synthesis of Diaryl Selenides by Reaction of Diaryl Diselenides with Aryl Boronic Acids

J Org Chem. 2016 Nov 18;81(22):11472-11476. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.6b02108. Epub 2016 Oct 18.

Abstract

We described herein our results on the silver-catalyzed synthesis of diaryl selenides via a cross-coupling reaction of diaryl diselenides with aryl boronic acids. The methodology is tolerant to electron-donor and electron-withdrawing groups at the substrates and the desired products were obtained in good to excellent yields.
