Sommario/riassunto

The use of organoselenium reagents as catalysts is a common thread that runs through the chapters of this book, introducing important aspects of the modern organoselenium chemistry: organocatalysis, green chemistry, bioinspiration, antioxidant activity.

The volume also features a discussion on the



synthesis and the synthetic applications of some emerging classes of selenium compounds such as hypervalent selenium species a
