Abstract
Abstract A novel α-phenylselenenylation of carbonyl compounds has been performed by electrolysis of a solution of ketones, diphenyl diselenide, tetraethylammonium bromide, and magnesium bromide in polar solvents (MeOH, AcOH, MeCN). The electrolysis enables us to prepare the desired seleno-carbonyl compounds without employing strong bases and the activated selenenyl reagents PhSeX.
