The action of aryl bromides on a mixture of magnesium and selenium in ether in ratios of 1.5-2:1:1 leads to diaryl selenides and bis(bromomagnesium) selenide, which gives organic selenides with electrophiles.The reaction of Grignard reagents with an excess of selenium (ArBr:Mg:Se ratios of 1:1:1.5) in ether leads to diaryl diselenides, while the reaction in THF leads to a mixture of polyselenides and diaryl diselenides.
