Abstract
Sodium and potassium alkane[arene]selenolates have been efficiently prepared from the corresponding diselenides using sodium or potassium hydrides in dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran. The reaction cannot be extended for the production of their lithium analogues nor for sodium and potassium phenylmethaneselenolates.
