A New Oxidative<i>Se</i>-Dealkylation in Seleno-Pummerer Reaction of 1,8-Bis(methylseleno)naphthalene and Naphtho[1,8-<i>b</i>,<i>c</i>]-1,5-diselenocin Induced by Peri-Selenium Participation
A new type of oxidative Se-dealkylation reaction was found in either the reaction of 1,8-bis(methylseleno)naphthalene and naphtho[1,8-b,c]-1,5-diselenocin with benzoyl peroxide or the reaction of their Se-oxides with carboxylic acid anhydrides.
