Electrochemical Difunctionalization of Alkenes: Simultaneous Construction of C-Se and C-S Bonds.

Electrochemical oxidation of alkene difunctionalization with simultaneous construction of C-Se and C-S bonds is reported. The products of β-selenylethyl dithiocarbamates are obtained with CS 2 , amines, alkenes, and diphenyl diselenides in the absence of any oxidant or metal. Furthermore, the transformation is compatible with various groups. In the preliminary mechanism studies, we propose three possible pathways.
