Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component One-Pot Synthesis of Substituted 2-Aryl--1,3-benzoselenazoles. -A simple method for the synthesis of the title compounds (III) using inexpensive and readily available 2-iodoanilines (I), various aromatic aldehydes (II) and selenium powder without ligands and other additives under mild reaction conditions is presented. -(SU, T.; XIE, S.; LI, B.; YAN, J.; HUANG*, L.; LI, X.; Synlett 26 (2015) 2, 215-220, http://dx.

A simple copper-catalyzed, one-pot synthesis of 2-aryl-1,3benzoselenazole derivatives was developed using inexpensive, readily available 2-iodoanilines, selenium powder, and aromatic aldehydes as the starting materials. The mild reaction conditions and simple procedure without ligands and other additives make this methodology an alternative for preparing these potential selenium-containing compounds very conveniently.
