Synthesis of diorganyl selenides mediated by zinc in ionic liquid.
A new approach for the synthesis of diorganyl selenides is described. By using economically attractive zinc dust in BMIM-BF(4), a series of diorganyl selenides were efficiently achieved in excellent yields, under neutral reaction conditions. Compared to the usual organic solvents, BMIM-BF(4) exhibited higher performance with the advantage to be reused up to five successive runs.
