Electrochemical Hydroxyselenenylation of Multifunctional Homoallyl Amines and Ethers

Abstract

A series of β‐hydroxyselenides from reactive N‐homoallyl(hetero)arylamines and O‐homoallyl(hetero)arylethers were effectively synthesized with high to excellent yields under electrolysis. The profiles of mild conditions, simple operation, short time, free of oxidants and transition metals, and good compatibilities of substrates render this methodology greener and potentially synthetic value in producing application.
