Abstract
AbstractAn efficient stepwise electrochemical oxidative seleno(thio)cyanation/cyclization tandem reaction of enamides with XCN salts (X=Se and S) was developed herein to access a diverse range of C3‐functionalized benzoselenophenes and benzothiophenes. This protocol can facilitate direct dual C(sp2)−H activation, offering versatility and broad substrate compatibility under mild reaction conditions.
