Urea-Hydrogen Peroxide-Mediated C(sp2 )-H Bond Selenylation of Imidazoheteroarenes and Simple Activated Arenes
In recent decades there has been uprising interest in the medicinal properties of organoselenides. These ubiquitous structural have their wide applications in material sciences, in catalysis and modern organic transformations. Research studies have led to important discoveries regarding selective C–Se bond formation and in this context a notable approach is direct selenylation. In this regard, nitrogen- or oxygen-containing arenes with organoselenides have appeared as a very important class of molecules, with diverse applications in the biological sciences.
