Background: Organoselenides are important building blocks of several biologically important molecules and natural products. Several protocols have been developed by chemists for their synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling is a powerful tool for this purpose in the last two decades. Various transition metal catalysts e.g. Pd, Ni, Cu, In etc. have been used for performing C-Se cross-coupling in the presence or absence of ligands. Objective: Development of a sustainable protocol for transition metal-catalyzed C-Se cross-coupling is the main objective of this research. Recently, Cobalt has been applied as a cheap and sustainable transition metal catalyst in several organic reactions. This protocol is focused on applying cobalt salt as a catalyst for performing C-Se cross-coupling for the first time. Methods: Co(acac)2 has been successfully employed for performing Se-arylations in the presence of CuI, which acts as a co-catalyst under microwave irradiation. NMP was used as solvent and KOH as a reductant in this reaction. Results: Both iodo-and bromoarenes have been used to perform C-Se cross-coupling with diaryl diselenide under this Co/Cu dual catalytic system. The reaction was successful with both electrondonating and withdrawing groups in ortho-, meta-, and para-positions in the aromatic ring of Bromo and iodoarenes. Conclusion: This is an effective protocol for the preparation of organoselenides, catalyzed by cobalt in the presence of copper. The mechanism has been established by several experimental techniques.

An expeditious approach for the synthesis of diverse five-membered lactams through nickel-catalyzed annulation of the C(sp3)–H bonds of aliphatic amides with alkynylsilanes assisted by an 8-aminoquinolinyl directing group is reported, delivering the corresponding lactam derivatives in moderate to high yields. It is worth noting that alkynylsilanes are employed for the first time as coupling partners in the transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds of aliphatic amides. Equimolar amounts of alkynylsilanes and aliphatic amides are utilized, which greatly increases the efficiency of this protocol.

Palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig aminations of various quinolinequinone derivatives give excellent yields of novel 6-arylamino derivatives of the disubstituted quinolinequinones and 3-arylamino derivatives of the corresponding naphthoquinones. The precursor quinolinequinones are prepared in a three-step sequence from 8-hydroxyquinoline. The transition-metal catalyzed arylations of 6,7-dibromo-5,8-quinolinequinone, 6,7-chloro-5,8-quinolinequinone and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone are reported for the first time and offer fast and easy access to their derivatives.

Phosphines are widely used ligands in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Arylphosphines, such as triphenylphosphine, were among the first phosphines to show broad utility in catalysis. Beginning in the late 1990s, sterically demanding and electronrich trialkylphosphines began to receive attention as supporting ligands. These ligands were found to be particularly effective at promoting oxidative addition in cross-coupling of aryl halides. With electron-rich, sterically demanding ligands, such as tri-tertbutylphosphine, coupling of aryl bromides could be achieved at room temperature. More importantly, the less reactive, but more broadly available, aryl chlorides became accessible substrates. Tri-tert-butylphosphine has become a privileged ligand that has found application in a wide range of late transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions. This success has led to the use of numerous monodentate trialkylphosphines in cross-coupling reactions. This review will discuss the general properties and features of monodentate trialkylphosphines and their application in cross-coupling reactions of C–X and C–H bonds.
