Abstract
The mercuration of benzo[b]selenophene by mercuric acetate proceeds to form the 2-mercuri derivative, while 2-methyl- and 3-methylbenzo[b]selenophenes give 3-mercuri-2-methyl and 2-mercuri-3-methyl derivatives of benzo[b]selenophene, respectively. The corresponding deutero derivatives of benzo[b]selenophene were obtained by substitution of the chloromercuri group by iodine with subsequent reduction by zinc in deuterated acetic acid.
