Reduction vs. acetalisation of some carbonyl compounds by means of methylselenol and Lewis acids

Abstract

Aliphatic ketones and aromatic carbonyl compounds on reaction with methylselenol and a Lewis acid, are shown to undergo acetalisation and/or reduction to methyl selenide, the unexpected reduction reaction being predominant in most cases.
