Selenium goes green! Recent advances in organoselenium chemistry clearly demonstrate that selenium‐based catalysts can be used conveniently in a series of functional group transformations. Organoselenium compounds are promising “green catalysts” as they can transfer oxygen from environmentally friendly oxidants such as H 2 O 2 .
