Abstract
The bromination of benzo[b]selenophene with an equimolecular amount of bromine and its acetylation with acetic anhydride in the presence of boron trichloride etherate proceed to form a mixture of isomeric 2- and 3-substituted derivatives; 2,3-dibromobenzo[b]selenophene is formed on bromination with two equivalents of bromine. Benzo[b]selenophene-2-carboxylic acid, its acid chloride and methyl ester, as well as 2-acetylbenzo[b]selenophene, were synthesized from the lithium derivative of benzo[b]selenophene.
