Abstract

A novel and convenient cascade trifluoroethylation/cyclization of organic isoselenocyanates by phenyl(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)iodonium triflate is reported. A series of 2-isoselenocyanobiaryls and aryl alkyl isoselenocyanates reacted with phenyl(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)iodonium triflate in CH2Cl2 at 40 °C under metal- and additive-free conditions for 3 h to provide the corresponding trifluoroethylselenolated phenanthridines and 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives in good to excellent yields. The reaction represents the first general approach to access trifluoroethylselenolated phenanthridines and 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines from organic isoselenocyanates.
