Insertion of elemental selenium into zinc carbon bond and application in synthesis of α-selenocarbonyl compound

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00032719808006477

Selenium inserted into the zinc carbon bond of alkyl and aryl zinc halides to form the corresponding the zinc alkyl and arylselnoates. They reacted in THF-HMPA with α-bromo carbonyl compounds to afford the α- selenocarbonyl compounds in high yields.
