Synthesis of 1,4-benzodioxepines via electrochemical oxyselenenylation of 2-O-tethered alkenyl phenylmethanol and diselenides

Abstract

A highly efficient methodology has been developed for the synthesis of 1,4-benzodioxepines through electrochemical oxyselenenylation of 2-O-tethered alkenyl phenylmethanol and diselenides under external oxidant-free conditions at room temperature. Experimental evidence...
