Selenosulfones, a Meetup of Chalcogens: A Journey Into Their Recent Chemistry

Abstract

AbstractA mini review focused on the chemistry of selenosulfones reported since 2019 is here presented. Initially, methods aimed to the preparation of such moiety are discussed. Successively 1,2‐, 1,3‐, 1,4‐ and 1,7‐addition reactions to C−C single and multiple bonds are illustrated. The forth chapter focuses on electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The fifth chapter deals with C−H functionalizations while the sixth one shows the reactions with aryl diazonium salts or its precursors. The radical coupling with redox active reagents, is the subject of section seventh. Selenosulfones challenged in nucleophilic substitutions and in reactions with phosphorus‐containing compounds are shown in chapter eight and nine followed by the conclusions and perspectives section.
