Automated Electrochemical Selenenylations

Abstract

Integrated electrochemical reactors in automated flow systems were utilised for selenenylation reactions. The automation allowed multiple electrochemical reactions of a programmed sequence to be performed in a fully autonomous way. Many functionalised selenenylated­ products were synthesised in short reaction times in good to high yields.

Key words

alkenes - automated synthesis - electrolysis - flow micro­reactors - selenium
