Abstract

A metal- and oxidant-free method for preparing 3-selenocyanato-substituted chromones from 2-hydroxyphenyl enaminones by using a newly developed electrophilic selenocyanating reagent is reported­. A series of 3-selenocyanato- or 3-thiocyanato-substituted chromones, as well as 3-selenocyanato- or 3-thiocyanato-substituted quinolinones was obtained in good to excellent yields under grinding reaction conditions. The generality and utility of this approach were demonstrated by a scale-up reaction and transformations of one of the products.
