Abstract

Results and Discussion Se-Phenyl p-tolueneselenosulfonate (la) and Se-phenyl benzeneselenosulfonate (lb)(Chart I) were obtained from the oxidation of the corresponding sulfonohydrazides with benzeneseleninic acid.* The reaction of la with cyclohexene in dichloromethane solution at room temperature proved too sluggish to be of value. However, addition of boron trifluoride etherate to the reaction mixture produced 89% of t runs-l-( ...
