  • Sweet Selenium: Synthesis and Properties of Selenium-Containing Sugars and Derivatives
    Pharmaceuticals (Basel Switzerland), 2020
    Co-Authors: Francesca Mangiavacchi, Ítalo F. C. Dias, Irene Di Lorenzo, Pawel Adam Grzes, Martina Palomba, Ornelio Rosati, Luana Bagnoli, Francesca Marini, Claudio Santi, Eder J. Lenardão
    Abstract:

    In the last decades, organoselenium compounds gained interest due to their important biological features. However, the lack of solubility, which characterizes most of them, makes their actual clinical exploitability a hard to reach goal. Selenosugars, with their intrinsic polarity, do not suffer from this issue and as a result, they can be conceived as a useful alternative. The aim of this review is to provide basic knowledge of the synthetic aspects of selenosugars, Selenonium salts, selenoglycosides, and selenonucleotides. Their biological properties will be briefly detailed. Of course, it will not be a comprehensive dissertation but an analysis of what the authors think is the cream of the crop of this interesting research topic.

  • Selenonium ionic liquid as efficient catalyst for the Baylis-Hillman reaction
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Eder J. Lenardão, Gelson Perin, Raquel G. Jacob, Josiane De Oliveira Feijó, Samuel Thurow, Claudio C. Silveira
    Abstract:

    Abstract The new acidic ionic liquid phenyl butyl ethyl Selenonium tetrafluoroborate, [pbeSe]BF 4 , was successful used as a co-catalyst in the Baylis–Hillman reaction of aldehydes and electron-deficient alkenes. The Baylis–Hillman adducts were obtained in moderated to good yields and in relatively short reaction times under mild conditions.

  • Selenonium ionic liquid as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of thioacetals under solvent-free conditions
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2008
    Co-Authors: Eder J. Lenardão, Samuel R. Mendes, Gelson Perin, Elton L. Borges, Raquel G. Jacob
    Abstract:

    Abstract Acidic ionic liquid butyl ethyl phenyl Selenonium tetrafluoroborate, [BEPSe]BF4, was successfully employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of several dithioacetals in the absence of a solvent. The method is general and selectively afforded thioacetals derived from aldehydes and ketones in good yields.

  • Selenium- and tellurium-based ionic liquids and their use in the synthesis of octahydroacridines
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Eder J. Lenardão, Samuel R. Mendes, Patricia C. Ferreira, Gelson Perin, Claudio C. Silveira, Raquel G. Jacob
    Abstract:

    Abstract A general and easy method for the synthesis of several Selenonium and telluronium salts is described. These compounds are acidic liquids at room temperature and were obtained in excellent yields. Phenyl butyl ethyl Selenonium tetrafluoroborate was employed in the hetero-Diels–Alder cyclization of aryl imines derived from citronellal, affording octahydroacridines in good yields.
