• probably deprotonation of the heterocyclic rings with a base. Moreover, nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions between an aryl halide and a selenium reagent such as aryl selenide anion or diaryl diselenide for C(Ar)–Se bond formation using a base have been reported [20][21][22]. However, the

On the other hand, conversion of the second nitro group, as well as a similar transformation of compound 10b, can possibly be explained in terms of the radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SRN1), since no other electron
