Reactions of α-diazoketones with phenylselenenyl chloride. A new synthesis of α-chloro- and α-phenylselenenyl-αβ-unsaturated ketones
Abstract
α-Diazoketones react with phenylselenenyl chloride at room temperature giving α-chloro-α-phenylselenenyl ketones; where structural considerations permit these adducts can be transformed via elimination reactions into α-chloro- or α-phenylselenenyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones.
