55. 2. In the latter case only 25% conversion of aniline was achieved after 2 h to give azo compound as the main product (no nitroso compound could be detected.).

64. The one-pot strategy with the addition of all components from the beginning was also tried in our system, but almost no target oxazines (<5%) could be observed despite the full consumption of the aniline substrate after 2 h of reaction. It was supposed that the conjugated dienes react with selenium catalyst to generate non-active selenium species and thus retard the catalytic oxidation reaction of aniline under the one-pot reaction conditions.
