Heavy-atom-modified
chalcogen-fused triarylamine organic materials
are becoming increasingly important in the photochemical sciences.
In this context, the general and direct dehydrogenative C–H
phenochalcogenazination of phenols with the heavier chalcogens selenium
and tellurium is herein described. The latter dehydrogenative C–N
bond-forming processes operate under simple reaction conditions with
highly sustainable O2 serving as the terminal oxidant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
