Abstract

A visible-light-promoted method for the selenofunctionalization (and tellurofunctionalization) of alkenes has been developed. This method obviates the prepreparation of moisture- sensitive chalcogen electrophiles. The experimental setup is simple, and superior yields are obtained in the case of selenofunctionalization (up to 99%) while moderate to good yields are obtained in the case of tellurofunctionalization (53–75%). A variety of intra-and ...
