Abstract
Nitrile sulfides, X – C≡N→S, are important transient species in organic synthesis and widely used for dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Nitrile selenides have the potential to become important dipolarophiles in preparative chemistry, however, their chemistry is largely unexplored. This review article focuses on generation, spectroscopic identification, structure, and synthetic applications of nitrile sulfides and nitrile selenides.
Keywords: Nitrile sulfides, nitrile selenides, synthesis, spectroscopy, structure, applications, benzonitrile selenide, thermolysis, photolysis, photofragmentation, flash vacuum pyrolysis (PVF), biological activity, dendrodoine, antiviral nucleoside ribavirin

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
