Abstract

Abstract : Reported herein is a transition metal- and oxidant-free method for the synthesis of selenyl heteroarenes with diselenides through iodide ion-catalyzed electrolytic selenation. Abstract : Reported herein is a transition metal- and oxidant-free method for the synthesis of selenyl heteroarenes with diselenides through iodide ion-catalyzed electrolytic selenation. This direct C(sp 2 )–H selenation strategy, with reduced environmental impact, provides efficient access to a host of selenyl indoles and some other N-heteroarenes under aerobic and galvanostatic conditions.
