What is it about?

An operationally simple sodium iodide mediated C-S and C-Se bond formation protocol involving substituted 4-quinolone and thiols/diselenide to generate different ArS/ArSe substituted 4-quinolone derivatives in excellent yields was developed. The versatility of this methodology has been successfully demonstrated by extension of the suitable reaction conditions to the both substrates having different substituents. This regioselective C-H bond activation approach provides a direct access of structurally diverse 3-sulfenylated/selenylated 4-quinolone derivatives. Moreover, this new method proceeds without transition metal catalyst and pre-requisite NH-protection of 4-quinolone derivatives.
