Invited Review: Electrophilic Selenium Catalysis with Electrophilic N-F Reagents as the Oxidants
A suitable oxidative system is crucial to electrophilic selenium catalysis (ESC). This short review offers the overview of recent development in ESC with electrophilic N-F reagents as the oxidants. Several highly selective transformations of alkenes such as allylic or vinylic imidation, pyridination, syn-dichlorination, oxidative cyclization and asymmetric cyclization have been described (, Ruizhi Guo, Lihao Liao, and Xiaodan Zhao* Molecules. 2017, 22, 835-847).
