Abstract
Abstract Reaction of the dilithio derivative of isopropenylacetylene with one equivalent of selenium or tellurium, followed by addition of t-BuOH and HMPT gives 3-methylene-2, 3- dihydroselenophen and 3-methylselenophen or 3-methylene-2, 3-dihydrotellurophen in reasonable yields. The latter compound can be converted into 3-methyltellurophen by treatment with t-BuOK in HMPT.
