Reactions of Diphenyl (phenylethynyl) selenonium Salts with Active Methylene Compounds and Amides: First Isolation of Oxyselenuranes [10-Se-4 (C3O)] as a …
The reaction of the diphenyl (phenylethynyl) selenonium triflate 1a with active methylene compounds 5 and t-BuOK in THF gave furan derivatives 6. The [10-Se-4 (C3O)] selenuranes 8a and 8b could be isolated from the reactions with benzoylacetonitrile 5f and with 1, 3- indandione 5g, respectively, as reaction intermediates. The structures of the selenuranes 8 were elucidated by X-ray crystallography and 77Se high-resolution solid-state NMR ...
