Abstract

Benzo [c] selenophene has been generated via facile bromination-dehydrobromination as well as oxidation of the 1, 3-dihydrobenzo [c] selenophene. Benzo [c] selenophene thus generated has been lithiated in situ and treated with ClCOOEt to give the first functionalized derivative subject to X-ray crystallographic analysis.
