โฆ Synopsis
The oxidative coupling of phenolic compounds as a mode of formation of a diversity of biological important structures has been investigated for a long time'. Phenol oxidations with modified metal complexes have received considerable attention during the last years'. Although the role of copper ions in enzymic (lactase, tyrosinase) phenol oxidations has been 132 recognized , relatively little attention has been paid to the use of copper complexes in phenol oxidations, either as a synthetic method or in a biomemitic type synthesis of natural products.

Diphenyl selenoxide was used as a mild and selective oxidant in the synthesis of aporphines and homoaporphines. An intramolecular coupling between a phenol and a catechol is believed to proceed via catechol selenurane intermediates.
