Md. Francis et al., 1,2-ADDITIONS OF PHENYLSELENENYL HALIDES TO PHOSPHAALKYNES, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 130, 1997, pp. 23-34
The preparation of a variety of selenophosphaalkenes by addition of ph
enylseleneyl halides to phosphaalkynes is described. The process is st
ereoselective and largely regioselective. The stereoselectivity is exp
lained by postulating the presence of a cyclic selenophosphirenylium c
ation. The reaction of one of the prepared selenophosphaalkenes with (
BuLi)-Bu-t is discussed.
