Synthesis of 2-selenyl(sulfenyl)benzofurans via Cu-catalyzed tandem reactions of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols with diorganyl diselenides(disulfides)†
Abstract
An efficient synthesis of 2-selenyl(sulfenyl)benzofurans has been accomplished through a copper(I)-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-(gem-dibromovinyl)phenols with diorganyl
