Abstract

Reaction of [PhP(Se)(m-Se)](2) (Woollins' reagent, WR) with symmetrically disubstituted diynes: five-membered P(Se)Se2C2 heterocycles and bis-heterocycles with two five-membered P(Se) Se2C2 rings connected through a C-C single bond; Bu-t-CMC -CMC-Bu-t reacts differently to afford an unprecedented four-membered P(Se)SeC2 heterocycle with one unreacted triple bond and a fused bis-heterocycle containing two five-membered P(Se)SeC3 rings fused at the middle two carbons of the diyne to give a heterocyclic analogue of pentalene, [3.3.0] octa-1-6-diene.
