Bis 3-trifluoromethylphenyl diselenide

Reactions of organomagnesium compounds with sulfur, selenium and tellurium 

Element Organomagnesium reagent Coreagent Product (yield, %) Ref. 

Early work [10] suggested that reactions of Grignard reagent with disulfides resemble those of organolithium compounds  

The reactions included here follow the general pattern R MgX + R2EY------------------- R ER2 + MgXY 

Other chiral sulfinyl transfer reagents include a cyclic sulfite (1) [16] and sulfinamides (2) and (3) [17,18].
