Abstract
A series of intramolecularly coordinated organochalcogen compounds incorporating the 8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl and 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl groups has been synthesized. All the compounds were synthesized using the ortholithiation methodology. Insertion of elemental selenium into the Li−C bond of RLi (6) (R = 8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl) afforded the lithium areneselenolate RSeLi (7). Oxidative workup of 7 yielded the yellow diselenide 8 in good yield. Reaction of 8 with a stoichiometric amount of sulfuryl chloride gave the monochloro derivative (9). Controlled bromination of diselenide (8) with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gave the stable selenenyl bromide (10). Compound 8 underwent facile reaction with a stoichiometric amount of iodine to give the corresponding novel monoiodo compound (11) in which selenium is covalently bonded to iodine. Attempts to synthesize the chalcogenides, R2E, 12 (E = Se) and 13 (E = Te), by the reaction of 6 with Se(dtc)2 and Te(dtc)2 (dtc = diethyldithiacarbamate)...
