Abstract
A convenient and metal-free three-component oxychalcogenation reaction of alkenes, diselenides/thiophenols, and H2O/alcohols provides β-hydroxyl or β-alkoxy organochalcogenides in very good yields. Tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are utilized as the catalyst and the terminal oxidant, respectively.
