Facile formation of samarium (III) selenolates from potassium iodide catalyzed reaction of samarium metal and diselenides, and their application in synthesis of selenoesters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085760

Samarium metal reacts with diselenides in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium iodide to generate samarium(III) selenolates. Samarium (III) selenolates thus formed in situ, react with acid chlorides to give selenoesters in moderate yields.
