A simple and practical procedure for the oxidation of vinyl selenides into the corresponding selenones using Oxone in water at 60 °C has been reported. Structurally diverse phenyl vinyl selenones were oxidized under heterogeneous conditions without organic co‐solvents or additional catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
