A visible-light-induced metal-free trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides and bromides with [MeN][SeCF] is described. The reaction was conducted at ambient temperature by successfully harnessing the light-sensitive SeCF reagent. Mechanistically, the EDA complexes between aryl halide and the SeCF anion or the base might be formed and excited by light, which subsequently undergo intracomplex SET processes to generate aryl and •SeCF radicals as key intermediates, allowing a convenient and green access to various aryl trifluoromethyl selenoethers.
本文描述了一种可见光诱导的无金属反应,即芳基碘化物和溴化物与[MeN][SeCF]发生三氟甲基硒化反应。该反应在室温下进行,成功利用了对光敏感的SeCF试剂。从机理上讲,芳基卤化物与SeCF阴离子或碱之间可能形成电子给体-受体(EDA)络合物,并被光激发,随后在络合物内部发生单电子转移(SET)过程,生成芳基和•SeCF自由基作为关键中间体,从而方便且绿色地合成各种芳基三氟甲基硒醚。
