Abstract

Before our studies selenium dibromide has scarcely been used in organic synthesis. We applied this reagent in the synthesis of previously unknown 1-selena-4-silafulvenes [1–3] by addition to diethinylsilanes. It was found that selenium dibromide is a mild brominating agent which can be used in organic synthesis.
