A. Morikami et al., One-pot synthesis of heterocycle-fused 1,3-diselenole-2-selones as the keyprecursors of tetraselenafulvalene-type electron donors, ORG LETT, 1(1), 1999, pp. 23-25
A simple one pot synthetic method of a series of 4,5-alkylenedichalcogeno-s
ubstituted 1,3-diselenole-2-selones by successive treatments of trimethylsi
lylacetylene with butyllithium, selenium, carbon diselenide, and finally al
pha,omega-bis(chalcogenocyanato)alkanes is described.
