Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inorganic reagents, if efficient and selective, often play a crucial role in modern organic synthesis. The application of novel efficient and selective inorganic reagents in organic synthesis has made a significant contribution to many fields of chemical sciences. The investigation of chemical properties of inorganic reagents is a very important area of research, which makes it possible to obtain a variety of new valuable products.

Over the past few decades, a number of new effective and selective inorganic reagents have been introduced into organic synthesis. For example, selenium dihalides, introduced into organic synthesis at the beginning of this century, are now widely used for the preparation of functionalized organoselenium compounds including selenium heterocycles.

The Special Issue will focus on recent developments in regio- and stereoselective synthesis of new organometallic and organochalcogen compounds based on inorganic reagents. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles covering various aspects of organometallic and organochalcogen chemistry, including synthesis, reactivity, structural studies, and applications. Special attention will be paid to the development of breakthrough synthetic approaches and methodologies that allow regio- and stereoselective synthesis of novel products of practical importance.

Oxidative stress is the cause of various pathologies and disorders of cellular functions. Substances that reduce the pathological effect of oxidative stress on homeostasis include organoselenium compounds of natural and synthetic origin. Depending on the structure, organoselenium compounds can exhibit different biological activities, for example, reducing oxidative stress, participating in the regulation of signaling systems, influencing the synthesis of cytokines, etc. This makes them promising products for the development of new means of metabolic correction and drugs with enzyme-like activity. This study is aimed at developing an effective method for the synthesis of functional organoselenium compounds and studying their antioxidant effect in vivo under stress conditions. A one-pot catalyst-free method of transannular addition-functionalization of cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene with selenium dihalides in the presence of nucleophiles was developed. For the first time, the antioxidant activity of functionalized 9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes was studied in vivo. Quantitative characteristics of the effect on the level of lipid peroxidation and the activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase under stress conditions were obtained. The effect of substituents in the selenium-containing scaffold on the biological activity of the compounds was studied. The water-soluble 9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives, containing hydroxyl and 2-hydroxyethoxy groups, which increased the activity of both glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, were discovered.

Environmentally friendly synthetic methods were developed for the selective preparation of new 2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiaselenine derivatives in high yields based on the reactions of 2-bromomethyl-1,3-thiaselenole with alcohols and water at room temperature. The reaction of 2-bromomethyl-1,3-thiaselenole with alcohols was accompanied by a rearrangement with ring extension, leading to six-membered heterocyclic compounds, a new family of 2-organyloxy-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiaselenines, in 80–96% yields. The remarkable cascade reactions of 2-bromomethyl-1,3-thiaselenole with water afforded 2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiaselenines functionalized with the (Z)-S-CH=CH-Se fragment and one or two highly reactive aldehyde groups. The latter aldehydes were functionalized by the reactions with alcohols and glycols to give new polyfunctionalized compounds, containing two double bonds, two sulfur atoms, two selenium atoms, and two or four oxygen atoms, in high yields.

An overview of the known methods of introducing selenium under the action of elemental selenium into the structures of various saturated, unsaturated, and heteroaromatic selenacycles containing C–Se, N–Se, B–Se, Ge–Se and P–Se bonds is presented. These methods include metal, iodine, bromine or chlorine exchange for selenium and the direct cyclization of 1-(2-bromoaryl)benzimidazoles, polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, acetylenes, propargylic amines, 3-halogenaryl amides, aryl amides, diazo-compounds, 2-aminoacetophenone, and the annulation of ethynyl arenes. Three- and four-component reactions utilizing elemental selenium as one of the components and leading to selenium-containing heterocycles are presented as well. Full article
