The reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl) selenide with n-BuLi followed by alkylation with an R1X gave alkyl silyl selenides. The repetition of a similar one-pot operation with the second n-BuLi and R2X yielded unsymmetrical selenides (R1SeR2) in good yields. This one-pot procedure could be also applicable to the syntheses of selenolesters, selenolcarbonates, and a phosphinothioyl selenide.
