Selenium goes green! Recent advances in organoselenium chemistry clearly demonstrate that selenium-based catalysts can be used conveniently in a series of functional group transformations. Organoselenium compounds are promising “green catalysts” as they can transfer oxygen from environmentally friendly oxidants such as H2O2.
