A mild and efficient protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of vinyl selenides catalyzed by CuO nanoparticles as recyclable catalyst under ligand-free conditions is reported. This methodology results in the synthesis of a variety of vinyl selenides in excellent yields with retention of stereochemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
