“…[26] Developing efficient synthetic routes for seleniranium and telluriranium salts as isolablea nd stable compoundsw as the aim of this study.T hiss hould be possible by stericp rotection of theset hree-membered rings, ap rocedure that has been successfully been used by us for the synthesis of selenirenium and tellurirenium salts [4,8] as well as for organoseleniumm ono-fluoridesA rSeF. [27] The extremelyb ulky olefin bis(adamantlyidene)A d =Ad (1)s eemed appropriate for this procedure, whichh as already been used for the preparationo ft hiiranium, [1c,e, 3d] chloriranium, [28] bromiranium, [3d, 29] and iodiranium salts. [29b] We did not use synthetic routes such as R 2 Se 2 /Br 2 / AgSbF 6 /olefin [17b, 18-23] or RCH(SeR')CHClR/AgSbF 6 , [7] to avoid separation of the byproduct AgCl or AgBr by filtration.O nly Ag-free reagents were used.N itrosyl salts such as NO + TfO À , NO + SbF 6 À and NO + SbCl 6 À ,w hich are only weakly soluble in nonpolars olvents such as CH 2 Cl 2 ,a lso showed little promise in the oxidation of diselenides.…”
