Abstract

Organic selenides were efficient regioselective synthesized by palladium-catalyzed switchable mono- and diselenylation of arenes sp2C-H bonds through simply tuning the DMSO to water ratio. The present protocol was also successfully extended to the monoselenylation of 2-phenoxypyridines, which bore a removable directing group, in modest yields.
