Ruthenium(III)-catalysed phenylselenylation of allyl acetates by diphenyl diselenide and indium(I) bromide in neat: isolation and identification of intermediate.
A fast and efficient phenylselenylation of allyl acetates by diphenyl diselenide and indium(I) bromide has been achieved in neat under the catalysis of Ru(acac)(3). The intermediate complex of diphenyl diselenide and indium has been isolated and identified as a polymeric pentacoordinated In(III) selenolate complex, [In(SePh)(3)](n).
