Isoselenocyanates were synthesized by two methods under phase-transfer conditions (50% aq NaOH, CH2Cl2, Aliquat 336); the first started from isocyanides and selenium and gave isoselenocyanates in 61-89% yields, while the second started from amines and used chloroform and selenium, by applying sequentially the Hofmann isonitrile synthesis and the addition of selenium, in 4-70% yields.

An efficient and widely applicable reagent-free method for the synthesis of alkyl and aryl isocyanides has been established. The electrochemical reduction of alkyl and aryl carbonimidoyl dichlorides under constant cathode potential leads to the corresponding isocyanides in almost quantitative yields. The availability of the starting materials, the mildness of the reaction conditions as well as the easy isolation of products are noteworthy, advantageous features of the procedure.
