Abstract
Abstract A method for the synthesis of vinyl selenides via Cu‐catalyzed three‐component reactions of arylboronic acids, Se powder and diarylethylenes has been developed. The reaction proceeds via addition of in situ generated selenium‐centered radical to carbon‐carbon double bond. This method highlights the use of easily accessible Se powder as selenium source in the construction of vinyl selenides for the first time. magnified image
