Indium(I) iodide-mediated cleavage of diphenyl diselenide. An efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides.
A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides through a one-pot indium(I) iodide-mediated reaction of alkyl halide and diphenyl diselenide in methylene chloride at room temperature. [reaction: see text]
