Abstract
Characteristic reactions of lithium eneselenolates generated from selenoamides, selenoic acid Oesters, and selenothioic acid S-esters with carbon electrophiles are described. Reaction and thermodynamic properties of ammonium eneselenolates of selenothioic acid S-esters are shown. Generation of eneselenolates from alkenyl and alkynyl metallic species is also introduced.
Keywords: metal eneselenolates, ammonium eneselenolates, selenoamides, selenoic acid o-esters, selenothioic acid s-esters, seleno-claisen rearrangement
