Phenylselenenyl and alkylselenenyl sulfates were found to efficiently and mildly introduce one or several phenylselenenyl or alkylselenenyl groups into activated aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds. When treated with methylselenenyl sulfate, veratrole and 2,2',3,3'-tetramethoxybiphenyl afforded 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxyselenanthrene and 2,3,7,8-tetramethoxy-dibenzoselenophene, respectively, via oxidative demethylation at selenium/cyclization. Phenyl-selenenylated thiophenes were selectively hydrodeselenenated at the 2- and/or 5-positions by treatment with the appropriate amount of n-butyllithium at -78 degrees C followed by hydrolysis.
