We have explored the reactions of tetrahydro-4H-selenochromenes in the presence of phosphoric pentachloride, and synthesized new condensate aroylbenzoselenophenes. During the reactions tetrahydro-4Hselenochromenes with phosphoric pentachloride were undergone oxidative aromatization and nucleophilic substitution for a chlorine atom of one of the protons in the alicyclic fragment. Also the narrowing of the heterocyclic fragment was
issued as in synthesized selenium-containing compounds earlier transformed to the corresponding condensate aroylbenzoselenophenes.
