Abstract
Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)-promoted disulfidation and diselenation of C-C unsaturated bonds is reported. Reactions of unactivated alkyne, alkene, and allene, respectively, with disulfides or diselenides in HFIP led to desired products in good to excellent yields (up to 96%). In contrast, other solvents, such as isopropanol and dichloroethane, could not promote the same reaction. This method revealed an example of HFIP-promoted transformations under the mild conditions, which greatly highlighted the unique reactivity of this special solvent.
