A practical method for the umpolung selenocyanation of aryl ketones, alkyl ketones, β-ketoesters and electron-rich arenes has been developed, affording various selenocyanates in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation proceeds by an oxidative umpolung selenocyanation through nitrogen oxides-mediated electrophilic selenocyanation process. This method is simpler, more efficient, and less costly

new method has been developed for the selenocyanation of aromatic ketones. This reaction avoids the need to use pre-prepared α-halo ketones, providing rapid access to α-carbonyl selenocyanates. We also investigated the mechanism for this reaction and found that it proceeds via sequential radical iodination and nucleophilicsubstitution reactions.

α-carbonyl selenocyanates from aryl methyl ketones/styryl methyl ketones using selenium dioxide as the selenating agent under simple reaction conditions. This reaction has notable advantages over the traditional methods in terms of accessibility and affordability of the starting materials. The method features the interaction of aryl methyl ketones/styryl methyl ketones with selenium dioxide and malononitrile
