A deselenylative protocol that enables the construction of the C-C and C-N bonds has been disclosed. By using acyl chloride/AgOTf as an efficient acylation reagent, diarylselenides smoothly undergo deselenylative acylation to produce a series of aroyl compounds. In addition, deselenylative nitration can be enabled by a mild nitration reagent consisting of TsCl and AgNO 3 , furnishing a diverse array of nitroaromatic compounds.
