Abstract
An efficient and convenient copper-catalyzed three-component reaction has been developed for the arylselenation of phenols with Se powder and aryl iodides. This one-pot procedure provides a straightforward approach to the synthesis of ortho-arylselenylphenols with high regioselectivity. This practical process shows good functional group tolerance, providing the corresponding products in moderate to good yields.
