Sonochemistry: An efficient alternative to the synthesis of 3-selanylindoles using CuI as catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.ultsonch.2015.05.012

Ultrasonic (US) irradiation was successfully used as an alternative energy source to prepare 3-selanylindoles through the direct selanylation of indoles with diorganyl diselenides using CuI (20 mol%) as catalyst and DMSO as the solvent. By using this US-p
