Abstract

An efficient protocol for the intermolecular amidoselenation of alkenes with diphenyl diselenides and acetonitrile has been developed that affords a series of β-amidoselenides in high yields under mild conditions. The preliminary experimental results support the involvement of active benzyl radical species, and a radical pathway was therefore proposed for the reaction.

Keywords: Alkenes, amidoselenation, radical, difunctionalization, β-amido-selenides, transformation.
