Abstract:Diaryl diselenides and diaryl ditellurides are usually employed as the selenyl or telluryl source which show wide applications in organic synthesis. Herein, various diaryl diselenides/ditellurides are smoothly furnished in moderate to excellent yields under metal-free conditions are disclosed. This method feature high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, easy operation, and easy scale-up (running in 4 mmol-scale for most cases). The mechanistic experiments indicate that this reaction is possibly runnin… Show more
