General procedure for synthesis of (3)
A 10-mL undivided three-necked bottle was equipped with a carbon rod
anode (Ø = 6 mm) and carbon rod cathode (Ø = 6 mm) which was connected
to a direct current (DC) regulated power supply. 1 (0.5 mmol),
selenium powder (0.6 mmol), 2 (0.8 mmol), and TBAI (0.5 mmol)
were dissolved in 4 mL MeCN and 2 mL H2O, the cell was
electrolyzed at a constant current of 10 mA (~9.2
mA/cm2). The mixture was stirred for 10 h at
environment temperature. The electrolysis was terminated when the
starting materials were consumed as determined by TLC. Then the reaction
mixture was diluted with 50 mL ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated
solution of brine (2 × 15 mL), dried
(Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuum,
and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column
chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) to afford the
desired products 3 .
