Abstract
Herein, an efficient method for the synthesis of 5-arylselenyluracils via bromide-catalyzed selective C(sp2)-H selenylation of uracils using boronic acid and elemental selenium as the selenyl source was successfully developed. This method proceeded smoothly for a series of arylboronic acids and uracils under metal-free and strong oxidant-free conditions. This protocol offered simple catalytic conditions, high efficiency, good functional group compatibility, easy operation, and easy scalable. Furthermore, the mechanistic studies suggested that this transformation was possibly undergone via a radical pathway.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
