T. Kanda et al., REACTION OF LITHIUM 1-ALKOXYENESELENOLATES WITH PROPARGYLIC BROMIDES - ONE-POT CONVERSION TO POLYSUBSTITUTED SELENOPHENES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(16), 1995, pp. 2807-2810
Lithium 1-alkoxyeneselenolates 2 in tetrahydrofuran were characterized
by H-1 NMR for the first time. Their reaction with propargyl bromide
was found to proceed through a propargylic rearrangement to generate a
llenic selenoic acid O-esters 3, which led to poly-substituted selenop
henes in moderate yields under reflux.
