Abstract
Abstract Diselenides are valuable reactants in organoselenium chemistry because Se Se bond can be easily converted into different reactive species, such as electrophiles (RSe+), nucleophiles (RSe−), and radicals (RSe ), allowing broad spectrum of transformations. Recently, an ever-increasing number of research groups have been incorporating selenium into their scientific agendas. In this review, we discuss advances made in the last 10 years concerning the synthesis of heteroarylselenides from diselenides through electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions, copper catalysis, direct selenylation of C H bond, photochemical reactions, as well as the formation of selenium-containing metal complexes. Listed synthetic methods are accompanied by mechanisms of corresponding reactions.
