Abstract

2-Cyano-1-methyl-4-phenyl-1-selenanaphthalene (1) was synthesized as the first isolable selenabenzene. Its ylidic structure was characterized by the spectral and chemical evidence. The thermal reaction of the selenanaphthalene 1 afforded [1,2]- (5) and [1,4]-rearranged products (6) together with dimeric compounds 7. The photochemical reaction afforded the different [1,4]-rearranged product, ketenimine 9 and the photo-oxygenated product, 4-phenylcoumarin (10).
