Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent-Catalyzed Selenocyanation of Activated Alkynes via an Intermolecular H-Bonding Activation Process

Abstract

By employing cheap and biodegradable natural deep eutectic solvent as the catalyst and reaction media, the selective selenocyanation of activated alkynes via an intermolecular H-bonding activation pathway has been achieved, which allows for the efficient construction of various Z-vinyl selenolates.
