The treatment of diselenides with different perfluoroalkyl iodides in the presence of sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate led to perfluoroalkyl selenides in fair to good yields. The reaction between benzyl perfluorooctyl selenide and chlorine, or sulfuryl chloride, gave rise to the corresponding selenyl chloride and represents an easy route to perfluoroalkylselenyl chlorides.
