An oxidative coupling reaction between formamides and diselenides under metal‐free conditions is described. The C–Se bond formation occurred exclusively at the carbonyl carbon by using aqueous tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide and 4 Å molecular sieves and the coupled products, selenocarbamates, were obtained in moderate‐to‐good yields.
