Reactions of Selenurane (10-Se-4 (C4)) with Alcohols, Thiols and Selenol. A Quest for Formation of a New. SIGMA.-Selenurane (10-Se-4 (C3O)),(10-Se-4 (C3S)) or ( …
Bis (2, 2′-biphenylylene) selenurane readily reacts with various alcohols, phenols, thiols and selenol to give ligand coupling or ipso-substitution products under mild conditions via a two-step mechanism involving a σ-selenurane [10-Se-4 (C3O)],[10-Se-4 (C3S)] and [10-Se- 4 (C3Se)] or corresponding selenonium salts as intermediates.
