A gift from the moon goddesses Selene and Chang'e Pyridinium salts are formed in an organoselenium‐catalyzed regioselective C−H pyridination of alkenes as described by X. Zhao et al. in their Communication on page 3201 ff. The new pyridinium salts were prepared from 1,3‐dienes and fluoropyridinium salts using diselenide catalysts personified as lunar goddesses Selene (Greek) and Chang'e (Chinese).
