Abstract

A practical synthetic approach to the synthesis of 3-(organoselenyl)-imidazothiazines was developed. The methodology involved the regioselective 6-endo-dig cyclization of thiopropargyl benzimidazoles promoted by diorganyl diselenides and iron(III) chloride. The investigation to determine the best reaction conditions indicated the use of thiopropargyl benzimidazoles (0.25 mmol) with diorganyl diselenides (1.0 equiv) and iron(III) chloride (2.0 equiv) in dichloromethane at 40 °C for 30 min to be optimal. Under these conditions, the scope of the substrates was evaluated varying the structures of thiopropargyl benzimidazoles and diorganyl diselenides giving twenty-eight 3-(organoselenyl)-imidazothiazines in moderate to good yields. The reaction conditions were also applicable to diorganyl ditellurides; however, they did not work for diorganyl disulfides. The mechanism studies were carried out indicating that the cyclization proceeds via a cooperative action of diorganyl diselenides and iron(III) chloride, but a direct electrophilic cyclization, promoted by the in situ formed electrophilic organoselenium species, cannot be ruled out.
