Base-promoted cascade reaction of isocyanides, selenium and amines: a practical approach to 2-aminobenzo[d][1,3]selenazines under metal-free conditions

Abstract

A new practical approach for constructing 2-aminobenzo[d][1,3]selenazines by base mediated multicomponent reaction of isocyanides, selenium and amines under metal-free conditions is reported. A series of selenazine derivatives are observed in moderate to excellent yields.
