Dehydrogenative C–H Phenochalcogenazination

“…He also noted some important redox differences. Another essential difference within the chalcogen group lies with the variation of covalent radius, which approximatively doubles from oxygen to tellurium …”

“…Vast numbers of organic heterocyclic structures are known with oxygen and sulfur, yet considerably fewer with selenium and almost none with metalloid tellurium. However, the chemistry of selenium and tellurium is becoming increasingly important in the field of heterocyclic chemistry, associated to the emergence of novel properties . The latter are becoming a research priority in the field of bioactive compounds and, in particular, organic materials and catalysts (Figure ).…”
