Abstract
In the presence of I2, a simple method for the preparation of arylselanyl anilines from anilines and diselenides is developed. This metal-free iodine-promoted procedure proceeds efficiently under mild reaction conditions, providing a series of arylselanyl anilines with high regioselectivity, and mostly in moderate to good yields.
