Abstract
A convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of α-carbonyl selenocyanates from aryl methyl ketones/styryl methyl ketones using selenium dioxide as the selenating agent under simple reaction conditions. This reaction has notable advantages over the traditional methods in terms of accessibility and affordability of the starting materials. The method features the interaction of aryl methyl ketones/styryl methyl ketones with selenium dioxide and malononitrile to afford a series of α-carbonyl selenocyanates in moderate to good yields.
