This work reports a green method for the synthesis of aryl selenocyanates via a three-component reaction of arylboronic acids, Se powder, and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) under metal-free and additive-free conditions. Remarkably, TMSCN acts as not only the substrate, but also the catalyst. Various selenaheterocycles can be also accessed with a catalytic amount of TMSCN.

Photodeoxygenation of dibenzothiophene S-oxide (DBTO) is believed to produce ground-state atomic oxygen [O(3P)] in solution. Compared with other reactive oxygen species (ROS), O(3P) is a unique oxidant as it is potent and selective. Derivatives of DBTO have been used as O(3P)-precursors to oxidize variety of molecules, including plasmid DNA, proteins, lipids, thiols, and other small organic molecules. Unfortunately, the photodeoxygenation of DBTO requires ultraviolet irradiation, which is not an ideal wavelength range for biological systems, and has a low quantum yield of approximately 0.003. In this work, benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]selenophene Se-oxide, benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]selenophene Se-oxide, dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]selenophene Se-oxide, and perylo[1,12-b,c,d]selenophene Se-oxide were synthesized, and their ability to utilize visible light for generating O(3P) was interrogated. Benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]selenophene Se-oxide produces O(3P) upon irradiation centered at 420 nm. Additionally, benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]selenophene Se-oxide, benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]selenophene Se-oxide, and dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]selenophene Se-oxide produce O(3P) when irradiated with UVA light and have quantum yields of photodeoxygenation ranging from 0.009 to 0.33. This work increases the utility of photodeoxygenation by extending the range of wavelengths that can be used to generate O(3P) in solution.

The invention discloses a synthetic method for preparing a dibenzoselenophene compound. According to the method, a C-Se bond is formed through free radical cyclization of a biaryl boric acid substratecatalyzed by TMSCN and selenium powder, so that the dibenzoselenophene compound is constructed. The new strategy has the advantages of no metal participation, no additive promotion, wide substrate range, good functional group compatibility, simple operation, high yield and the like.
