Organoselenium reagents are powerful tools for the preparation of small organic molecules.A simple preparation of polystyrene-supported（E）-1-bromo-2-selenoethylene was reported.In the presence of NiCl2（PPh3）2 catalyst,polystyrene-supported（E）-1-bromo-2-selenoethylene reacted with different Grignard reagents to offer（E）-1,2-disubstituted ethenes or trisubstituted ethenes.The evident advantages of this reaction are easy operations,odorlessness,good yields of the products.
The reduction of diaryldiselenides by Cp2TiCl2/BuiMgBr/THF led to arylselenium complex of titanocene [Cp2TiSeAr]. This species reacted smoothly with electrophilic substrates such as acylhalides, α-bromocarbonyl compounds, diaryliodonium salts, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding organic selenides in high yields.
The 2% cross-linked poly[styrene(iodosodiacetate)] reacted with diarylselenides and sodium azides to afford a simple and mild synthetis method of 1-azido-2- arylselenoalkanes.
