Samarium diiodide-induced reduction of amorphous selenium: A facile synthesis of diaryl diselenides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408011724

Samarium diiodide reduces amorphous selenium to Se₂/^2- in THF. Subsequent addition of aryldiazonium fluoborates affords diaryl diselenides in moderate to good yields.
