A Facile Preparation of Lithium Selenocarboxylates

A series of lithium selenocarboxylates 2 were synthesized in good yields by the direct reaction of acyl chlorides with lithium selenide. The salts 2 were soluble in ether and tetrahydrofuran and readily reacted with alkyl iodides to give the corresponding Se-alkyl esters in quantitative yields.
