Water accelerated Sm/TMSC1 reductive cleavage of the Se-Se bond: Synthesis of selenoesters and selenoformates
Wang, Lei,Zhang, Yongmin
, p. 3107 - 3115 (1999)
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
