Reactions of sodium selenide with ethynyl and bromoethynyl ketones: Stereo- and regioselective synthesis of functionalized divinyl selenides and 1,3-diselenetanes

A method for the preparation of 2,4-dimethylene-1,3-diselenetanes based on the novel reaction of sodium selenide with bromoethynyl ketones has been developed. New functionalized divinyl selenides have been obtained by regio- and stereoselective addition of sodium selenide to ethynyl ketones.
