Reactions of 9-carbene-9-borafluorene monoanion (1) with elemental selenium and selenium-containing reagents are reported. When compound1is reacted with grey selenium in THF, various boryl-substituted selenides and diselenides are produced (2–6), including molecules resulting from migration of the carbene ligand Dipp group (Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl). However, when a similar reaction between1and grey selenium is performed in toluene in the presence of 18-crown-6, boryl-substituted selenide7is obtained as the sole boron-containing product. As compound7is the monomeric variant of organoselenide3, 18-crown-6 promotes both product selectivity and solubility in a nonpolar solvent. Diselenide5, which features a trans-bent B–Se–Se–B core, was directly isolated via reaction of1with Se2Cl2in THF. Computational modeling suggests that the formation of5proceeds via a radical mechanism. This was supported by an experiment demonstrating that the CAAC-borafluorene radical also reacts with SeCl2to yield5[CAAC = (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,4-diethyl-2,2-dimethyl-pyrrolidin-5-ylidene]. Energy decomposition analysis of5indicates a covalent borafluorene–diselenide bond (ΔEint, −168.9 kcal mol–1). All of the new compounds were fully characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (1H,13C,11B, and77Se).
