a Reaction conditions: PhSeꢀ ion was prepared in 300 mL of liquid ammonia from Ph2Se2 (1 mmol) and Na metal (2 mmol) and then n-Bu3SnCl
(2 mmol) was added. The coupling reaction was carried out with RfnI (1.4 mmol) and (PPh3)2PdCl2 for 24 h at 80 °C when toluene was used and
120 °C when DMF was used.

In conclusion, we have reported a very efficient one-pot
two-step selenylation by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling
reaction to obtain a wide range of functionalized
organoselenides. This methodology has some notable
features: (i) the use of a stable organoselenium reagent
against air and moisture; (ii) the feasibility of a one-
pot reaction; (iii) a high yield preparation method of
functionalized aryl selenides; (iv) a high functional
group compatibility. Particularly noteworthy is the fact
that perfluoroalkyl iodides were viable electrophiles in
the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling and that the synthesis
of PhSeRfn by this reaction proved a new versatile tool.
