Abstract
Molecules containing heteroatoms, such as Se and S, play an indispensable role in the discovery and design of pharmaceuticals, whereas Se has been less studied. Here, we described a photoredox strategy to synthesize C-benzoselenazolyl (Bs) glycosides from 2-isocyanoaryl selenoethers and glycosyl bromides. This reaction was carried out under mild conditions with high efficiency. C-Benzothiazolyl (Bt) glycosides could also be synthesized from 2-isocyanoaryl thioethers using this strategy. This method can access novel seleno/thiosugars, which will benefit Se/S-containing drug discovery.
