Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component Reaction for Regioselective Aryl- and Heteroarylselenation of Indoles using Selenium Powder.

A new and efficient copper-catalyzed C3 aryl- and heteroarylselenation of indoles employing selenium powder has been developed. The advantages of this chemistry involve the use of cheap selenating reagents, tolerance of a variety of functional groups, and practicality. In addition, this protocol has been further elaborated in an intramolecular phenylselenation of a (hetero) aryl C-H bond to construct an important motif of benzoselenopheno[3,2-b]indole. A preliminary mechanism study suggests that the reaction starts with a Ullman-type selenation between aryl iodides and selenium, followed by an oxidative cross-coupling with indole. The utility of this method has been demonstrated in an efficient gram-scale synthesis and an application to the synthesis of tubulin polymerization inhibitor.
