The transfer of a α-methyl phenylseleno carbanion to variously functionalized N-aryl and N-sulfonyl imines is reported. The fast selenium-lithium exchange conducted on a diselenoacetal with n-BuLi enables the generation of the attacking homologative nucleophile under chemoselective conditions preserving concomitant potentially sensitive functionalities to the lithiating conditions. Uniformly high yields were observed, thus establishing a valuable and conceptually simple approach to the title compounds.

Nitronaphthalene derivatives react as Michael acceptors in the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction with alkyl phenyl selenones and alkyl diphenyl sulfonium salts. Mechanistic studies reveal that sterically demanding substituents at the carbanionic center favor formation of cyclopropanes and suppress competitive β-elimination to the alkylated products. The transformation, demonstrated also on heterocyclic nitroquinoline and nitroindazolines, is an example of transition metal-free dearomatization method.
A highly efficient heterogeneous ruthenium(III)-catalyzed reaction of diaryl diselenides with alkyl halides leading to unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides

A highly efficient heterogeneous ruthenium(III)-catalyzed reaction of diaryl diselenides with alkyl halides was achieved in DMF at 100?°C in the presence of 2?mol% of an MCM-41-immobilized bidentate nitrogen ruthenium(III) complex [MCM-41-2N-RuCl3] and zinc, yielding a variety of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides in good to excellent yields. This new heterogeneous ruthenium catalyst can easily be prepared via a simple two-step procedure from commercially readily available and inexpensive reagents, and recovered by filtration of the reaction solution and recycled for at least eight times without a significant loss of activity.
