Abstract
The described polyfunctional arylmagnesium reagents, resulting from the highly regioselective addition of magnesium phenylselenide to functionalized arynes, can be trapped by a range of electrophiles, yielding polyfunctional selenoethers in 45-85% yields. Furthermore, these Grignard reagents can be used in Negishi cross-coupling reactions with iodoarenes after transmetalation to the corresponding arylzinc compounds, furnishing functionalized biaryl products in 55-73% yields.
