Abstract

A new reagent N-phenylselenosaccharin (NPSSac) was simply prepared and used as a source of the electrophilic phenylselenyl group. This relatively stable new compound was able to react with a series of electron rich organic molecules like alkenes in the presence of external or internal nucleophiles, activated aromatic substrates, or enolizable carbonyl derivatives, under very mild experimental conditions.
