Abstract
An efficient and convenient Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction is described for the selenation of imidazoheterocycles/indoles with Se powder and aryl iodides. This procedure provides diverse 3-arylselenylimidazoheterocycles and 3-arylselenylindoles with good yields and functional group tolerance. Some of the products exhibited better or comparable antiproliferative activities compared with the positive control 5-fluorouracil against H1975, PC-9, HGC-27, EC-109, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.
