Cover Feature: Visible Light and Triselenium Dicyanide

The cover feature shows an industrial environment highlighting the production line conveyor belts on which substrates are inserted into a “blue light box” and are converted to the desired products. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301934), F. Penteado, E. J. Lenardão and co‐workers report a sophisticated application of triselenium dicyanide (TSD) in a light‐mediated transformation triggered by the generation of Se‐centered radical species. By exploiting this activation strategy, a library of α‐carbonyl selenocyanates and 2‐phenylimidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine derivatives was satisfactorily prepared under mild reaction conditions.
