title: Metal-free sp(3) C-H functionalization: a novel approach for the syntheses of selenide ethers and thioesters from methyl arenes.
abstract: A DTBP-promoted metal-free and solvent-free formation of C-Se and C-S bonds through sp(3) C-H functionalization of methyl arenes with diselenides and disulfides is described.
