One-Pot Synthesis of Aryl Selenonic Acids and Some Unexpected Byproducts

The synthesis of aryl selenonic acids was achieved from diverse aryl bromides via a one-pot method involving metalation, selenation, and oxidation with hydrogen peroxide followed by ion exchange to afford the pure products in 77-90% yield. An o-hydroxymethyl derivative was found to dehydrate readily, affording the first example of a cyclic selenonic ester, while two minor byproducts were isolated and shown by X-ray crystallography to be mixed salts of aryl selenonic acids with either the corresponding aryl seleninic or selenious acid.
