The lithium derivatives prepared from diethyl phenylselenomethane-phosphonate with n-butyllithium at low temperature react with carbon tetrachloride to give the corresponding α-chlorinated phosphonate and trichloromethyllithium. The latter deprotonates the α-chlorinated phosphonate in situ to give a new lithio derivative which reacts with carbonyl compounds. These different steps take place in one pot and lead to chlorovinyl phenyl selenides, a novel class of selenocompounds.
