Metal-free visible-light induced cyclization/substitution cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones and diselenides: access to 5-hydroxy-3-selenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2 H -chromen-6(5 H )-ones

A simple and efficient Se-radical triggered cyclization/substitution cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones to afford 5-hydroxy-3-selenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2 H -chromen-6(5 H )-ones has been developed. This transformation via the 3,5-diselenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2 H -chromen-6(5 H )-one interm...

Summary:A simple and efficient Se-radical triggered cyclization/substitution cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones to afford 5-hydroxy-3-selenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2 H -chromen-6(5 H )-ones has been developed. This transformation via the 3,5-diselenyl-4a,8a-dihydro-2 H -chromen-6(5 H )-one intermediate followed by hydrolysis in the presence of CsOAc affords the desired product 3 . The resulting products were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity using MTT assay, and compounds 3e and 3q showed potent cancer cell-growth inhibition activities.
