Reductive cleavage of Se-Se and Te-Te bond by samarium diiodide: Synthesis of selenoesters, telluroesters, unsymmetrical alkylphenyl selenides and tellurides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308009767

The reduction of diaryl diselenides and ditellurides by samarium diiodide led to samarium arylselenolates and samarium aryltellurolates respectively (ArSeSmI₂ and ArTeSmI₂). These species reacted smoothly with acyl halides and alkyl
