Synthesis of primary arylselenoamides by reaction of aryl nitriles with Woollins' reagent.
[Structure: see text] The reaction of aryl nitriles with Woollins' reagent followed by water affords a variety of primary arylselenoamides in 60-100% yield. The first crystal structures of two primary selenoamides are reported.
