An efficient, chemoselective homologation of disulfides and diselenides to the corresponding dithio- and diselenoacetals has been developed via the addition of bromomethyllithium. Chemoselectivity is fully preserved in the presence of concomitant electrophilic sites decorating the substrates. The synthetic potential of selected dithioacetals has been evaluated in Feringa-Fa?anas-Mastral-type Pd-catalyzed coupling with an organolithium and in the unusual 1,4-addition to a Weinreb amide.

Various Se,O-heteroacetals were prepared by the LiAlH4 reduction of diselenides 1 followed by alkylation with methoxymethyl chloride or (2-methoxyethoxy)methyl (MEM) chloride.Olefinic and acetylenic α-seleno carbenium ions were generated by the selective C-O bond cleavage of O-(2-methoxyethyl)-Se,O-heteroacetals with titanium(IV) chloride and cyclized to give the seleno heterocyclic compounds.Olefinic MEM-selenides 3a,b,d-f,h underwent the endo-mode cyclization to afford 4-chloroselenacycloalkanes 4a,b,d-f,h in good yields, whereas acetylenic MEM-selenides 12b-e,g-j underwent the exo-mode cyclization to give 3-(1-chloroalkylidene)selenacycloalkanes 13b-e,g-j.This new utilization of α-seleno carbenium ions was also applied to the intramolecular and intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reactions.
