Abstract
A metal-free photochemical methodology has been developed for the direct C–H selenylation of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The protocol features broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and utilizes safe and readily available diphenyl diselenide as the selenium source. This methodology is also applicable for selenylation of certain heteroarenes. Stern–Volmer experiments have indicated that photo-excited Na2-eosinY∗ is effectively quenched and linearly correlated with the concentration of diphenyl diselenide.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
