A tandem electrophilic thiocyanation/carbocyclization of alkynes has been developed, affording thiocyanato-substituted phenanthrenes, dihydronaphthalenes, 2H-chromenes and dihydroquinolines in moderate to excellent yields.
A visible-light-induced decarboxylative radical selenocyanation reaction of aliphatic carboxylic acids with the electrophilic N-selenocyanatophthalimide has been developed.
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.
