Abstract
This review covers recent advances in the direct selenocyanation of (hetero)aromatic C-H bonds with an emphasis on the reaction mechanisms. This novel approach is an effective means of preparing a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic selenocyanates, which are extremely versatile synthetic precursors of selenium-containing compounds, such as selenols, seleninic acids, selenides, diselenides, and trifluoromethyl selenides.
