Cu-Catalyzed [2+2+1] Cascade Annulation of Vinyl Iodonium Salts with Element Sulfur/Selenium for the Modular Synthesis of Thiophenes and Selenophenes
A [2+2+1] annulation protocol has been established for the modular synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiophenes/selenophens, with excellent regioselectivity. The reactions are catalyzed by copper salt with elemental sulfur and selenium serving...
