Water accelerated Sm/TMSC1 reductive cleavage of the Se-Se bond: Synthesis of selenoesters and selenoformates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085934

The reduction of diselenides by the Sm/TMSC1/H₂O system led to selenide anions. These 'living' species reacted smoothly with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and methyl chloroformate respectively to afford the desired selenoesters and selenoform
