Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10426500600776045

The compounds selenolo(2, 3-b)quinoline-2-carboxylic ethyl esters were synthesized in varying yields by the reaction of (i) 3-(2-chloro-3-quinolyl) acrylic acids, (ii) 3-(2-chloro-3-quinolyl)acryloyl chlorides, and (iii) 2-chloro-3-(1,2-dibromo-3-quinolyl)acrylic ethyl esters with sodium diselenide in ethanol under a nitrogen atmosphere.
