Abstract

Abstract The reaction of biscarbamoyl diselenides with aromatic compounds in the presence of Lewis acids resulted in Friedel-Crafts type carbamoylation (Gatterman amide synthesis) to give corresponding aromatic amides in good yields. This methodology was successfully applied to aroylation and benzylation by use of dibenzoyl diselenide and dibenzyl diselenide, respectively.
