The reaction of selenobenzophenones with diazomethane afforded the corresponding diarylethylenes and symmetrical olefins. The reaction with diaryldiazomethanes gave three different types of tetraarylethylenes. This reaction proceeded through 1,3,4-selenadiazoline intermediates, and retrocyclization was observed. The formation of 1,3,4-selendiazolines was independently confirmed by the reaction of benzophenone hydrazones with diselenium dibromide, which afforded tetraarylethylenes in good yields. This method is applicable to the two-step synthesis of tetraarylethylenes from benzophenones. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.
