We describe here an efficient and regioselective synthesis of arylselanyl anilines by copper‐catalyzed direct arylselenation of arylamines. Using a catalytic amount of copper iodide in dimethyl sulfoxide at 110 °C under an air atmosphere, a range of arylselanyl anilines was obtained directly from substituted diaryl diselenides in moderate to good yields via CH bond cleavage of aryl amines.
