Abstract

The reduction of diphenyl diselenide by the Sm–Me3SiCl–H2O system led to a selenide anion. This ‘living’ species reacted with organic halides, epoxides, α,β-unsaturated esters and α,β-unsaturated nitriles to afford unsymmetrical phenylselenides in good yields under mild and neutral conditions.
