Eco-Friendly Selenoamidation of Alkenes with Sulfamides and Organoseleniums: Rapid access to β-Amidoselenides

An eco-friendly method has been developed for the 1,2-selenoamidation of alkenes under metal-free conditions. The reaction avoids the need for pre-prepared Se-N regents, providing facile access to a variety of beta-amidoselenides with good regioselectivity and functional group tolerance. The broad substrate scope, good regioselectivity and easy derivation make this reaction attractive for the synthesis of nitrogen- and selenium-containing molecules.
