AI Article Synopsis

  • Arylseleninic acids serve as a reliable selenium source in aromatic substitution reactions, utilizing N,N-substituted anilines and indoles as nucleophiles at 70 °C for 6-15 hours.
  • A total of 14 different 4-selanylanilines and 5 types of 3-selanylindoles were produced with good to excellent yields.
  • The preparation of benzeneseleninic acids is straightforward, as they can be derived from diselenides, and the process generates only water as waste, making it environmentally friendly.

Article Abstract

Arylseleninic acids were used as an electrophilic selenium source in aromatic substitution reactions, using N,N-substituted anilines and indoles as nucleophiles at 70 °C for 6-15 h. A total of fourteen 4-selanylanilines and five 3-selanylindoles were selectively obtained in good to excellent yields. The starting benzeneseleninic acids are easily prepared from the respective diselenides, are bench stable and easy to handle, affording water as the only waste at the end of the reaction.
