Since our paper did not cite the specific reaction from molecule 13 to molecule 14, we found articles with similar reactions. In Grieco 1981, we found they used ArSeCN as a reagent to convert a primary alcohol to its corresponding alkene. This method has already been confirmed in previous journals. According to Grieco, ArSeCN is a “nuisance to prepare and difficult to work with.” Instead, the paper expands on the potential of N-phenylselenophthalimide (N-PSP) as a more effective alternative. One of the reasons is that N-PSP is more readily available than ArSeCN. Additionally, N-PSP provides a higher yield of the alkyl aryl selenide product.
