In the presence of 10 mol% titanocene perfluorobutanesulfonate (1·H2O·THF), reductive cleavage Se-Se bond by zinc dust (1.2 equiv.) at room temperature led to nucleophilic selenium anion species, which reacted with bromoalkanes to afford unsymmetrical selenides in good to excellent yield using commercial tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent under N2 atmosphere. The possible reaction mechanism is that zinc dust reduces Cp2TiIV(OPf)2 (Pf=SO2C4F9) to produce Cp2TiOPf, which reacts with diaryl diselenides to form the intermediate Cp2TiIVSeAr(OPf). Then it further reacts with bromoalkanes to produce unsymmetrical selenides. In this paper, the synthesis of asymmetrical selenides catalyzed by 1·H2O·THF/Zn system is first reported. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simple operation and high yield.

Key words: titanocene perfluorobutanesulfonate, zinc dust, diaryl diselenides, bromoalkanes, unsymmetrical selenides
