The past decade has witnessed significant advancements in the highly selective
dichalcogenation (chalcogen= S, Se, Te) reactions of unsaturated substrates for the …

Alkynes are simple yet important organic feedstocks. The selenylation of alkynes is able to
produce complex selenium‐containing compounds in a facile way. Although there are some …

An efficient strategy for the synthesis of 3-arylthiobenzo [b] thiophenes via a photodriven
radical cyclization of 2-alkynylthioanisoles with disulfide was developed. The reaction …

The selenophene derivatives are an important class of selenium-based heterocyclics. These
compounds play an important role in prospecting new drugs, as well as in the development …

A stable dimethyl (thiodimethyl) sulfonium tetrafluoroborate salt was employed for the
electrophilic cyclization reaction of o-alkynyl thioanisoles for the synthesis of 2, 3 …

A new strategy for the preparation of 3-halobenzo [b] thiophenes via a photo-driven
halocyclization/demethylation of 2-alkynylthioanisoles with simple alkyl halides was …

A one‐pot, three‐component synthesis of 3‐(arylsulfonyl) benzothiophenes was developed.
The reaction did not require any catalysts or additives. The desired products were obtained …

This manuscript intends to overview the most recent advances in the synthesis of carbo‐and
heterocycles through reactions of alkynes with organyl chalcogenides (S, Se, Te) under …

Main observation and conclusion: The reaction of 2‐alkynylanisoles/sulfides with SOCl2 and
DMSO was conducted to conveniently furnish the biologically interesting 3‐(methylthio) …

Chalcogen-substituted π-extended indolocarbazoles were synthesized through a
nucleophilic cyclization of tethered diynes with sulfur, selenium or tellurium sources …
