Abstract
� 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim An efficient selenium-catalyzed direct oxidation of benzylpyridines in aqueous DMSO has been successfully developed by using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. A variety of benzoylpyridines with broad functional group tolerance were obtained in modest to excellent yields and with exclusive chemoselectivity. (Figure presented.).
