Synthesis of 2-selenyl(sulfenyl)benzofurans via Cu-catalyzed tandem reactions of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols with diorganyl diselenides(disulfides)

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 2-selenyl(sulfenyl)benzofurans has been accomplished through a copper(I)-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols with diorganyl diselenides and disulfides in the presence of CuI/Mg/t-BuOLi in DMSO. Using this protocol, a variety of 2-selenyl(sulfenyl)benzofuran derivatives were obtained in good yields.
