Abstract

A metal-free direct C–H selenation of aniline derivatives via an iodine-catalyzed C–Se bond formation using diselenides as a selenium source at ambient temperature is described. A variety of aniline derivatives underwent regioselective C–H selenation with different diselenides to afford the corresponding aryl selenoethers in good to excellent yields.
