“…The following materials were prepared in analogy with published procedures (alkyl aryl selenides [38] and tellurides [39] ) and were used as reference compounds in the GC analyses: cyclohexyl phenyl selenide, [40] cyclohexyl phenyl telluride, [41] ethyl phenyl sulfide, [42] ethyl phenyl selenide, [43] ethyl phenyl telluride, [44] methyl phenyl selenide [45] and methyl phenyl telluride. [44] Preparation of Onium Tetrafluoroborate Salts. Typical Procedure: Diphenyl Methyl Selenonium Tetrafluoroborate (4): AgBF 4 (0.86 g, 98 %, 4.30 mmol) was slowly added to a mixture of diphenyl selenide (1.00 g, 4.30 mmol) and methyl iodide (6.10 g, 43 mmol) under N 2 at ambient temperature.…”
