The chemistry of the carboxyl group is one of the cornerstones of organic chemistry. As a
consequence two very important facets of synthetic methodology are the activation of the …

A look at the shelves of a major library awakens doubts in the author of this small volume
about the importance of writing a new introduction to peptide synthesis. This rather narrow …

Selenoesters are compounds of great synthetic relevance since they can be used in several
types of chemical transformations and mainly due to their great capacity in the formation of …

A mild and convenient oxidative radical cyclization of aryl alkynoate esters for the synthesis
of 3-trifluoromethylthiolated and 3-thiocyanated coumarins has been developed using …

A novel synthesis of selenoesters and telluroesters based on the reactions of nucleophilic
siloxycarbenes, which were generated by the visible-light-induced isomerization of the …

A mild, practical, and simple procedure for phenyl selenoesters synthesis from several
anhydrides and diphenyl diselenide was developed. This transition-metal-free method …

An electrochemical oxidative para-C–H-thiocyanation of aromatic amines has been
developed to construct thiocyanato aromatic compounds under metal-, oxidant-, and …

The phenylseleno group (PhSe) has evolved in recent years as a very useful and versatile
functionality. Its facile introduction into organic molecules and its subsequent oxidative or …

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of a new class of selenoesters 4a and 4b
was developed. Polarized-light optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry …

An efficient route for the synthesis of saturated thiocyano-containing azaheterocycles by
selenide-catalyzed regio-and stereoselective thiocyanoaminocyclization of alkenes is …
