2,2'-Diselane-1,2-diylbis(5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carbonitriles) 14a,b (General Method).
The cyanoselenoacetamide 10 (1.0 g, 6.8 mmol), diketone 4 or 5 (6.8 mmol), and 96% EtOH (25 ml) were
placed in a flat-bottomed flask of volume 100 ml, and the mixture was stirred under an argon stream for 5 min.
KOH (0.76 g, 13.6 mmol) was added to the suspension. The flask was sealed; the reaction mixture was stirred to
dissolution of the starting reagents and left for 12 h in a fridge at 2-3ºC. 10% HCl was added dropwise with
stirring under an argon stream to the solution formed to pH 3-4 and left for 12 h. The precipitate formed was
filtered off and washed with EtOH.

Quinoline 16 and Selenophenoquinolines 17a-d (General Method). A mixture of the diselane 14a,b
(1.00 mmol), 10% KOH (0.6 ml, 1.17 mmol), and 70% EtOH (30 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 5 min,
and the corresponding alkyl halide (1.00 mmol) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 1-2 min with vigorous
stirring, rapidly passed through a paper filter, and left for 48 h at room temperature. The precipitate formed was
filtered off and washed with EtOH and hexane.
