Preparation of 2-Phenylselenyl-3-phenyl-6-bromo-1,3-hexadiene (9a); Typical Procedure: 1-Phenyl-1-cyclopropylallene (3a; 0.33 mmol) was first dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (1 mL) and the reaction was kept at 0 °C under ice-bath cooling. Under a nitrogen atmosphere protection, a solution of phenylselenyl bromide (0.3 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (6 mL) was slowly added. The reaction proceeded very rapidly and the color of phenylselenyl bromide disappeared immediately. The reaction liquid was stirred for an extra 1 min. Then, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was separated by preparation TLC (eluent: PE) to give 9a in 78% yield. The other 2-phenylselenyl-6-bromo-1,3-hexadienes could be prepared in the similar way.
