ChemInform Abstract: An Efficient Synthesis of Alkyl and Aryl Chalcogenated Derivatives of Tetrathiafulvalene.
Abstract
Tetrathiofulvalene (I) is treated consecutively with LDA, selenium powder and the alkyl halides (II), yielding the tetrakis(alkylseleno) derivatives (III).
ChemInform Abstract
Tetrathiofulvalene (I) is treated consecutively with LDA, selenium powder and the alkyl halides (II), yielding the tetrakis(alkylseleno) derivatives (III). A similar reaction of (I) with LDA and diphenyl disulfide or diselenide (IV) gives the tetrakis(phenylchalcogeno) derivatives (V).
