Solvent‐Regulated Electrochemical Selenylation and Deuteration of Alkynyl Aryl Ketones: Chemoselective Synthesis of 3‐Selenylated Chromones and Deutero‐Selenylated Chalcones
developed an electrochemical reaction for the synthesis of 3-selenylchromones and deutero-selenylated chalcones of alkynyl aryl ketones. This method is free from metal catalysts and oxidants, and is regulated by solvents. The reaction conditions are mild, and a wide range of substrates can be employed to produce selenylated chromones and deutero-selenylated chalcones, displaying potential anti-inflammatory
