Abstract

The reactions of alkynylselenonium salts with n-Bu4NX (X= I, Br, Cl) in CH2Cl2 gave 1-halo- 1-alkynes or phenacyl halide derivatives and selenide, while the reaction with F− afforded a terminal alkyne and a selenoxide. Seemingly, the selenonium salts acted as alkynyl cations in the former case and as alkynyl anions in the latter case.
