Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed cyclization/chalcogenation of o-alkynylphenols with epoxides and elemental S8/Se was developed for the synthesis of a 3-chalcogen-benzofuran architecture in a domino process with no intermediate isolation or purification. Various sensitive functional groups were compatible at room temperature and furnished chalcogenation derivatives in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Selenocompounds protect against damage to healthy cells and induce the death of tumor cells by apoptosis; for this reason, they are attractive compounds for cancer research. In the present study, two series of novel phenoxy-((phenylethynyl) selanyl) propan-2-ol derivatives were synthesized, and their anti-proliferation activities were evaluated. Of the 23 compounds synthesized, most showed potent anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines. Specifically, compounds 3h, 3g, and 3h-2, which had a 2- or 4-position halogen substituent on 1-((phenylethynyl)selanyl)-3-phenoxypropan-2-ol, exhibited the best anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells. Flow cytometry demonstrated that 3h, 3g, and 3h-2 induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in A549 cells. Cellular studies demonstrated that the induction of apoptosis by 3h correlated with changes in the expression of cell cycle-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins. Xenograft tumor experiments in nude mice revealed that compound 3h has antitumor effects in vivo and no evident toxic effects in nude mice. In addition, compound 3h alleviated cisplatin-induced liver and kidney damage. These findings uncover the applicability of compound 3h as a novel lead compound for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The first organic metals were obtained based on tetrathiafulvalene. The most significant advance in the field of organic metals was the discovery of superconductivity. The first organic superconductors were obtained based on tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene. These facts demonstrate great importance of tetraselenafulvalenes and their precursors, diselenafulvenes, for materials sciences. Derivatives of 1,4-diselenafulvene and 1,4,5,8-tetraselenafulvalene are useful building blocks for organic synthesis and donor units for the preparation of charge-transfer complexes and radical ion salts, the construction of organic metals, superconductors, organic Dirac materials, semiconductors, ferromagnets, and other conductive materials. This review covers the literature on the design, synthesis, and application of 1,4,5,8-tetraselenafulvalenes and 1,4-diselenafulvenes and their tellurium analogs over the past 15–20 years. These two classes of compounds are interconnected, since the main part of methods for the synthesis of tetraselenafulvalenes is based on the diselenafulvene derivatives as starting compounds. Special attention is paid to the development of novel efficient synthetic approaches to these classes of compounds. Conducting properties and distinguishing features of materials based on tetraselenafulvalenes and their tellurium analogs as well as examples of materials with high conductivity are discussed.

Abstract
Here, we describe a copper-mediated tandem decarboxylative coupling/annulation protocol of o-hydroxyaryl enaminones with 3-indoleacetic acids. A series of 3-indolmethyl-chromones were afforded in up to 97% yield. A one-pot method for 3-indolmethyl-chromones from o-hydroxy acetophenones, N, N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, and 3-indoleacetic acids was also developed. Derivatization of the products was conducted to provide various indolmethyl-substituted pyrimidines. Moreover, a biological evaluation revealed that some compounds had anti-influenza viral activities.

Abstract
Herein, a straightforward method for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted selenophenes via [2+2+1] cyclization of easily accessible terminal alkynes and elemental selenium has been developed. This reaction features high atom- and step-economy, excellent regioselectivity, good functional group tolerance and the use of stable and non-toxic selenium as a selenium source. A series of control experiments suggests that the reaction might undergo Glaser coupling reaction of two molecules of alkynes, followed by insertion of H2Se and subsequent cyclization. Moreover, the newly formed products can be further converted to diverse conjugated selenophene-based derivatives, demonstrating their potential applications in organic synthesis and materials science.
