Diphenyl diselenides and disulfides undergo facile cleavages by indium(I) iodide and the corresponding generated selenate and thiolate anions condense in situ with alkyl or acyl halides present in the reaction mixture. Thus, a simple, efficient, and general procedure has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides, sulfides (thioethers), selenoesters, and thioesters by this one-pot reaction at room temperature.
