Abstract: Electrochemical reduction of diselenides allows the formation of selenide anions which react with different chloroformates yielding the corresponding selenocarbonates in moderate to very high yields. The reaction is general and prevents the use of further reagents or drastic reaction conditions. Moreover the use of labile or air sensitive precursors such as selenides is avoided.
