ChemInform Abstract: Photoaccelerated Reductive Coupling of Acid Chlorides with Conjugate Dienes and Styrenes by Use of Neodymium Metal in N,N-Dimethylacetamide.
Selenoesters have been prepared in good yield by reaction of diaryl diselenides with acid chlorides or acid anhydrides induced by the TiCl4–Sm–THF system under mild reaction conditions.
