Abstract

The zinc promoted Barbier-type reaction of alkyl halides and diphenyl diselenide in aqueous medium leads to high yields of mixed selenides even in acidic medium. Especially the efficient formation of t-butylphenylselenide cannot be explained by nucleophilic substitution and raises the question of an alternative reaction mechanism. Three suitable halide precursors of 'radical clocks' of increasing rate of unimolecular rearrangement were used ...
