  • Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Five- and Six-Membered Selena
    290 RECENT ADVANCES IN THE SYNT HESIS OF FIVE - AND SIX - MEMBERED SELENA - HETEROCYCLES DOI: http://dx.medra.org/ 10.17374/targets.2021.24.290 D amiano Tanini * , Antonella Capperucci Department of Chemistry “Ugo Schiff ”, Università di Firenze , Via della Lastruccia 3 - 13, 50019 Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze ) , Italy (e - mail: [email protected] ) Abstract. Organoselenium compounds play an increasingly important role in chemistry and biochemistry. Amongst the wide variety of selenium - containing systems, selena - heterocycles are versatile derivatives with broad applications in organic synthesis, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and biology. In this context, taking into account the poor stability of most selenylating reagents or intermediates , the developm ent of simple, mild and ver satile synthetic methodologies towards functionalised selena - heterocycles remains an attractive yet challenging topic . This chapter will be focusing on recent advances on the synthesis of different classes of selenium - containing five - and six - member ed ring systems. Contents 1. I ntroduction 2. S ynthesis of heterocyc lic systems containing selenium 3. S ynthesis of heterocyclic systems containing selenium and nitrogen 4. S ynthesis of heterocyclic systems containing selenium and other heteroatoms (O, S, P) 5. C onclusion s and future outlook Acknowledgement s References 1. I ntroduction Selenium - containing small molecules occupy a central position in chemical science , with different application s in organic synthesis, material sciences and polymer chemistry . 1,2,3 Organoselenides are often employed as synthetic intermediates, ligands, and catalysts. 4,5,6,7 Furthermore, owing to their antioxidant, enzyme modulator, and anticancer properties, selenium - containing organic molecules play an increasingly important role in medicinal chemistry and biology.

  • The CHAL336 Benchmark Set: How Well Do Quantum-Chemical Methods Describe Chalcogen-Bonding Interactions?
    The CHAL336 Benchmark Set: How Well Do Quantum-Chemical Methods Describe Chalcogen-Bonding Interactions? Nisha Mehta,y Thomas Fellowes,y,z Jonathan M. White,y,z and Lars Goerigk∗,y ySchool of Chemistry, The University of Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia zBio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute, University of Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +61 3 834 46784 Abstract We present the CHAL336 benchmark set—the most comprehensive database for the assessment of chalcogen-bonding (CB) interactions. After careful selection of suit- able systems and identification of three high-level reference methods, the set comprises 336 dimers each consisting of up to 49 atoms and covers both σ- and π-hole inter- actions across four categories: chalcogen-chalcogen, chalcogen-π, chalcogen-halogen, and chalcogen-nitrogen interactions. In a subsequent study of DFT methods, we re- emphasize the need for using proper London dispersion corrections when treating non- covalent interactions. We also point out that the deterioration of results and systematic overestimation of interaction energies for some dispersion-corrected DFT methods does not hint at problems with the chosen dispersion correction, but is a consequence of large density-driven errors. We conclude this work by performing the most detailed DFT 1 benchmark study for CB interactions to date. We assess 109 variations of dispersion- corrected and -uncorrected DFT methods, and carry out a detailed analysis of 80 of them. Double-hybrid functionals are the most reliable approaches for CB interactions, and they should be used whenever computationally feasible. The best three double hy- brids are SOS0-PBE0-2-D3(BJ), revDSD-PBEP86-D3(BJ), and B2NCPLYP-D3(BJ).
