The aerobic dehydrogenative cyclization of alkenes with easily accessible diselenides facilitated by visible light is reported. Notably, the features of this transition-metal-free protocol are pronounced efficiency and practicality, good functional group tolerance, atom economy, and high sustainability, since ambient air and visible light are adequate for the clean construction of five- and six membered heterocycles in yields of up to 98%.
