Abstract

Reaction of carboxylic thionoesters with dimethylaluminium methylselenolate in diethyl ether gave the corresponding Se-methyl thionoselenolesters in 87-98% yield. ... Carboxylic thionoselenolesters have been the subject of limited investigation,l in contrast to the thiono- and dithio- esters, which have received much attention .2 Two methods have been reported for the synthesis of Se-aryl thionosel- enolesters from bisthioacyl sulphide or thioacyl chloride ,3 but no general route ...
