1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating
solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic …

In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

The present review is devoted to summarizing the recent advances (2015–2017) in the field
of metal-catalysed group-directed C–H functionalisation. In order to clearly showcase the …

A novel electrochemical radical selenylation of alkenes and activated arenes without
external oxidants is reported. The diselenide was fully transformed into Se-centered radicals …

A versatile protocol for the C–H chalcogenation of indolines and indoles by means of copper
catalysis was established. The C–H functionalization occurred selectively at the C7 position …

The first visible-light driven aerobic oxidation for the direct selenation of (hetero) arenes has
been developed at room temperature, providing an eco-friendly, atom-economical protocol …

The development of convenient and mild chalcogenylation reactions for the preparation of
unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides and diaryl selenides has received significant attention in …

Selenium-substituted heteroarenes are biologically active compounds and useful building
blocks. In this study, we have developed a metal-and oxidant-free, environmentally friendly …

A catalyst-free, environmentally friendly, and efficient electrochemical selenylation/
cyclization of alkenes has been developed with moderate to excellent yields. This …

The past decades have witnessed rapid development in organic synthesis via catalysis,
particularly the reactions through C–H bond functionalization. Transition metals such as Pd …
