Synthesis of Selenaheterocycles via Visible-Light-Mediated Radical Cyclization

An approach for the synthesis of selenaheterocycles starting from aryl diazonium salts was developed. The one-pot process and subsequent visible-light-mediated silver-catalyzed cyclization enabled the synthesis of selenaheterocycles in the absence of a photocatalyst. The reactions were carried out under mild conditions without the use of toxic or sensitive reagents.
