chalcogenfunctionalization
Chalcogenfunctionalization refers to the chemical process of introducing chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, or tellurium) or chalcogen-containing groups into organic molecules. This functionalization can occur through various reaction pathways, including nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, radical reactions, and transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The specific chalcogen atom and the nature of the functionalizing agent dictate the reaction conditions and the resulting chemical structure.
The introduction of chalcogen atoms can significantly alter the electronic, steric, and optical properties of organic
Chalcogenfunctionalization reactions are employed in the synthesis of a wide array of valuable molecules. These include
