ChemInform Abstract: STEREOCHEMISTRY OF THE ACYLATION OF SELENONIC ACIDS OF PHOSPHORUS

Selenophilic reaction of organolithium and magnesium reagents with phosphinoselenoic chlorides

“…When the chloride 1c bearing two tert-butyl groups was used as a substrate, the ester 3c was obtained in a higher ratio (entry 3). The use of BuMgCl increased the ratio of the phosphine selenide 2b (entry 4) [6]. The reaction of 1b with PhLi preferentially gave phosphinodiselenoic acid ester 3d (entry 5).…”
