Selenium Dibromide Click Chemistry: The Efficient Synthesis of Novel Selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene-2 and -nonane Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Highly efficient and convenient methods for the preparation of 35 novel derivatives of 9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene-2 in high yields based on the adduct of the transannular addition of SeBr₂ to 1,5-cyclooctadiene were developed. The methods for the amination of the adduct made it possible to obtain both diamino selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives and their dihydrobromide salts in one step in 88-98% yields. The methods meet the criteria of click chemistry. Compounds with high glutathione peroxidase mimetic activity were found among water-soluble dihydrobromide salts. The selective reaction of 2,6-dibromo-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with acetonitrile to form 6-bromo-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene-2 was discovered. The latter compound served as a promising starting material to give rise to the new class of selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene-2 derivatives, e.g., 6-alkoxy-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonenes were obtained in 94-99% yields.
