Synthesis of benzo[c]selenophene and derivatives via new routes.
[reaction: see text] Benzo[c]selenophene has been generated via facile bromination-dehydrobromination as well as oxidation of the 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]selenophene. Benzo[c]selenophene thus generated has been lithiated in situ and treated with ClCOOEt to give the first functionalized derivative subject to X-ray crystallographic analysis.
