Recent Advances in Light-Induced Selenylation

Selenium-containing organic molecules have recently found a plethora of applications, ranging from organic synthesis to pharmacology and material sciences. In view of these concepts, the development of mild, efficient, and general protocols for the formation of C–Se bonds is desirable, and light induced approaches are appealing ways. The aim of this Review is to provide the reader with the most recent examples of light promoted selenylation processes.
