Abstract
Lewis acid-mediated selective C3-isothiocyanation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones using N-thiocyanatosaccharin as an isothiocyanate source under visible light conditions at room temperature is described. Under similar conditions with N-chlorosaccharin, the C3-chlorination of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones achieved a 2 h time frame. Good to an excellent yield of products was obtained in both cases with broad functional group tolerance. Control experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism. The present procedure demonstrates the applicability at gram-scale reactions and highlights the subsequent conversion of isothiocyanates into representative thiourea derivatives, and one of the chloro derivatives transformed to glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors.

Abstract
The chemical and biological interest in this element and the molecules bearing selenium has been exponentially growing over the years. Selenium, formerly designated as a toxin, becomes a vital trace element for life that appears as selenocysteine and its dimeric form, selenocystine, in the active sites of selenoproteins, which catalyze a wide variety of reactions, including the detoxification of reactive oxygen species and modulation of redox activities. From the point of view of drug developments, organoselenium drugs are isosteres of sulfur-containing and oxygen-containing drugs with the advantage that the presence of the selenium atom confers antioxidant properties and high lipophilicity, which would increase cell membrane permeation leading to better oral bioavailability. This statement is the paramount relevance considering the big number of clinically employed compounds bearing sulfur or oxygen atoms in their structures including nucleosides and carbohydrates. Thus, in this article we have focused on the relevant features of the application of selenium in medicinal chemistry. With the increasing interest in selenium chemistry, we have attempted to highlight the most significant published data on this subject, mainly concentrating the analysis on the last years. In consequence, the recent advances of relevant pharmacological organoselenium compounds are discussed.

Abstract
A Lewis acid-promoted electrophilic thiocyanation/cyclization of ortho-alkynylanilines for the synthesis of indole derivatives has been developed. The reaction utilizes Me3SiBr as the Lewis acid and N-thiocyanatosuccinimide as the thiocyanation reagent. A series of 2-aryl-3-thiocyanato indoles were prepared in moderate to high yields under mild conditions without metals and oxidants. It provides an efficient protocol for the construction of the indole skeleton and C-SCN and C-N bonds in one step as well.

Abstract
The process of thiocyanation is a notable chemical conversion owing to the extensive range of applications associated with thiocyanate compounds in the field of organic chemistry. In past centuries, the thiocyanation reaction incorporated metal thiocyanates or thiocyanate salts as sources of thiocyanate, which are environmentally detrimental and undesirable. In recent literature, there have been numerous instances where combined or indirect alternative sources of thiocyanate have been employed as agents for thiocyanation, showcasing their noteworthy applications. The present literature review focuses on elucidating the ramifications associated with the utilization of indirect or combined alternative sources of thiocyanate in various thiocyanation reactions.

Abstract
Vinyl-substituted alcohols represent a highly useful class of molecular skeletons. The current method typically requires either stoichiometric metallic reagents or preformed precursors. Herein, we report a nickel catalysis-enabled synthesis of vinyl-substituted alcohols via a 5-membered oxa-metallacycle. In this protocol, acetylene, the simplest alkyne and abundant feedstock, is employed as an ideal C2 synthon. The reaction features mild conditions, good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. Mechanistic exploration implies that the oxa-metallacycle originated from the cyclometallation of aldehyde and acetylene is the key intermediate for this transformation, which is then terminated by a silane-mediated σ-bond metathesis and subsequent reductive elimination.

We report herein a new method for the synthesis of densely functionalized chiral allyl SCF3 , SCF2 R, SCN and SAr species with a separate CF3 functionality. The synthetic approach is based on selenium-catalyzed sulfenofunctionalization of chiral α-CF3 allylboronic acids. The reactions proceeded with remarkably high stereo-, diastereo- and site-selectivity, based on the formation of a stable thiiranium ion followed by rapid deborylative ring opening.

Abstract
Asymmetric electrophilic reactions provide an ideal method for the construction of chiral molecules by incorporating one or more functional groups into the parent substrates under mild conditions. However, due to the issues of the reactivities of electrophilic species and the possible racemization of chiral intermediates as well as the restriction of the chiral scaffolds of chiral catalysts, many limitations remain in this field, such as the narrow scopes of substrates and electrophiles as well as the limited types of nucleophiles and reactions. To overcome the limitations in the synthesis of diversified chiral molecules, we developed a series of indane-based chiral amino aryl chalcogenide catalysts. These catalysts are easily prepared based on the privileged chiral indane scaffold. They can provide an appropriate H-bonding effect by varying the amino protecting groups as well as offer a proper Lewis basicity and steric hindrance by adjusting different substituents on the aryl chalcogenide motifs. These features allow for them to meet the requirements of reactivity and the chiral environment of the reactions. Notably, they have been successfully applied to various asymmetric electrophilic reactions of alkenes, alkynes, and arenes, expanding the field of electrophilic reactions.Using these catalysts, we realized the enantioselective CF3S-lactonization of olefinic carboxylic acids, enantioselective CF3S-aminocyclization of olefinic sulfonamides, desymmetrizing enantioselective CF3S-carbocyclization of gem-diaryl-tethered alkenes, enantioselective CF3S-oxycyclization of N-allylamides, enantioselective intermolecular trifluoromethylthiolating difunctionalization and allylic C-H trifluoromethylthiolation of trisubstituted alkenes, formally the intermolecular CF3S-oxyfunctionalization of aliphatic internal alkenes, intermolecular azidothiolation, oxythiolation, thioarylation of N-allyl sulfonamides, desymmetrizing enantioselective chlorocarbocyclization of aryl-tethered diolefins, enantioselective Friedel-Crafts-type electrophilic chlorination of N-allyl anilides, and enantioselective chlorocarbocyclization and dearomatization of N-allyl 1-naphthanilides. Additionally, the enantioselective electrophilic carbothiolation of alkynes to construct enantiopure carbon chirality center-containing molecules and axially chiral amino sulfide vinyl arenes and the electrophilic aromatic halogenation to produce P-chirogenic compounds can be accomplished. In these reactions, a bifunctional binding mode is proposed in the catalytic cycles, in which an acid-derived anion-binding interaction might exist and account for the high enantioselectivities of the reactions.In this Account, we demonstrate our achievements in asymmetric electrophilic reactions and share our thoughts on catalyst design, our understanding of asymmetric electrophilic reactions, and our perspectives in the field of chiral chalcogenide-catalyzed asymmetric electrophilic reactions. We hope that the experience we share will promote the design and development of other novel organocatalysts and new challenging reactions.

Abstract
A tandem dearomative electrophilic thiocyanation/cyclization/acylation of indoles was developed for the first time, which is enabled by acyl chloride. A variety of 3-SCN pyrroloindolines were obtained with moderate to excellent yields. Interestingly, replacement of acyl chloride with methanesulfonic acid, 2-SCN tryptamines were obtained using the same starting substrates and reagents. Furthermore, catalytic enantioselective manner of thiocyanation/cyclization/acylation reaction was also studied. An enantiomer self-disproportionation effect of 3-SCN pyrroloindolines was discovered. A series of chiral 3-SCN pyrroloindolines were obtained with high enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Thiocyanates are common in natural products, synthetic drugs and bioactive molecules. Many thiocyanate derivatives show excellent antibacterial, antiparasitic and anticancer activities. Thiocyanation can introduce SCN groups into parent molecules for constructing SCN-containing small organic molecules. Among them, the direct introduction method mainly includes nucleophilic reaction, electrophilic reaction and free radical reaction, which can simply and quickly introduce SCN groups at the target sites to construct thiocyanates, and has broad application prospects. In this review, we summarize the research progress of direct thiocyanation in recent years.

Abstract
A phosphoric acid catalyzed electrophilic thiocyanation of 3-aryl indoles, which provides an efficient and modular approach to SCN-containing 3-aryl indole compounds, was developed for the first time. A variety of 2-SCN-3-aryl indoles were obtained with moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, catalytic asymmetric manner of this reaction was also studied. Using chiral phosphoric acid as the catalyst, axially chiral SCN-containing 3-aryl indoles were obtained in moderate to good yields with moderate enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A route for thiocyanation-functionalization of the electron-deficient C═C double bond was developed. Regioselective thiocyanation-etherification of α,β-unsaturated ketones was achieved. The desired products were obtained in moderate to high yields under mild conditions. It was suggested that the nucleophile was activated by the electrophilic thiocyanato reagent, and difunctionalization was achieved through a 1,4-addition/thiocyanation pathway.

Abstract
Among the wide variety of synthetic transformations of inexpensive and abundant feedstock alkenes, vicinal difunctionalization of carbon-carbon double bonds represent one of the most powerful and effective strategies for the introduction of two distinct functional groups into target compounds in a one-pot process. In this context, the direct alkoxysulfenylation of alkenes has emerged as an elegant method to construct valuable β-alkoxy sulfides in an atom- and pot-economic manner utilizing readily accessible starting materials. Here, we review the available literature on this appealing research topic by hoping that it will be beneficial for eliciting further research and thinking in this domain.

Abstract
A trifluoroacetic-acid-mediated desulfurilative sulfonylthiolation of arenes using SS-morpholino dithiosulfonate is described. This system is based on selective activation of the morpholino group over the tosyl group of the doubly transformable sulfur surrogate. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeds through electrophilic aromatic substitution followed by sulfur extrusion. The wide substrate scope of this reaction and the transformability of the resulting thiosulfonates enable expeditious access to divergent multifunctionalized sulfides.

Abstract
An electrophilic thiocyano semipinacol rearrangement of allylic alcohols has been achieved for the first time by using N-thiocyano-dibenzenesulfonimide (NTSI). This approach provides a direct, simple, and efficient strategy for the formation of thiocyano carbonyl compounds with moderate to excellent yields. Meanwhile, an all-carbon quaternary center was rapidly constructed. In addition, an asymmetric version of this tandem reaction was preliminarily investigated.
