B(C6F5)3-Catalysed Chemo- and Regioselective C–H Chalcogenation of Arenes and Heteroarenes: data

The synthesis of chalcogenides remains a subject of valuable research due to their widespread biological applications, particularly in pharmaceuticals. Selective aromatic Csp2–H functionalisation is a promising tool for synthesising diaryl chalcogenides. Herein, our study details the tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C6F5)3]-catalysed Csp2–H functionalisation of a wide range of readily available arenes, heteroarenes, and pharmacophores with thiosuccinimides or selenosuccinimides, providing access to a broad range of highly chemo- and regioselective chalcogenated products. The data includes a collection of files for the synthesis and characterisation of the compounds reported in this work. Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2024.05.025
