One-pot two-step reaction of selenosulfonate with isocyanides and allyl alcohol under aqueous conditions: Atom-economic synthesis of selenocarbamates and allyl sulfones

Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of heteroaryl sulfones and diselenides via deheteroaromatization and heteroaromatization: synthesis of heteroaryl selenides

“…In the past few years, some methods for constructing C–Se bonds have been reported. 5 The most commonly used method among them is the use of transition metal catalysis. It has been successfully reported that transition metals such as Pd, 6 Ni, 7 Fe, 8 and Cu 9 catalyze the reaction of boric acid or aryl halides with selenol or diselenide to form aryl selenides (Fig.…”

Nickel-Catalyzed Acid Chlorides with Tetrasulfides for the Synthesis of Thioesters and Acyl Disulfides

“…Thioesters are not only widely present in organisms and natural products but also significant intermediates in biosynthetic methods . Likewise, thioesters and acyl alkyl disulfides are used as crucial acyl radical equivalents in many acyl transfer reactions, and they are also precursors to the synthesis of difficult-to-obtain hydropersulfides.…”

Glyoxylic Acid Monohydrate-Promoted Formation of the C–SO2 Bond Starting from Maleimides/Quinones and Sodium Sulfinates

“…Sulfur-containing organic compounds play an important role in biologically active molecules . Among these, sulfone compounds are widely used in drug discovery, agrochemicals, and materials science due to their unique structure and electron cloud structure . The sulfone motif can facilitate potential target–ligand interactions through its two H-bond acceptors and can also modulate physicochemical properties if it incorporates with drug molecules .…”
