Triorganogermanium Selenocarboxylates: Synthesis and Reactions

Abstract
A series of triphenylgermanium selenocarboxylates 3 were synthesized and characterized. The esters 3 are thermally stable, but labile towards moisture and oxygen. They react with arenesulfenyl chlorides and areneselenenyl bromides at room temperature to afford the corresponding acyl arenesulfenyl selenides and acyl aryl diselenides in moderate yields.
