(1-(1,3-butadienyl) sulfide, and methylthiomethyl 1-(1,4-butadienyl) selenide, vinyl 1-(1,3-butadienyl) sulfide, and methylthiomethyl 1-(1,3-butadienyl) selenide (the latter two with DMSO participation). The reaction of vinylacetate with tellerium gives mainly di-1-(1,3-butadienyl) telluride. A series of reactions between DMSO and selenium leading to dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfoselenide, and methylthiomethyl
