A transition-metal-free, selenium mediated electrophilic cyclization reaction was realized through a one-pot procedure between simple alkynes and triflic anhydride-activated selenoxides to give selenium containing dihydronaphthalene products. This method gave good to very high yields for all products, including selenium-substituted phenanthrene, dihydroquinoline, 2H-chromene, and coumarin, which can be further transformed to other functionalized compounds.
