Abstract: Under N2 atmosphere and at room temperature, the reaction of diaryl diselenid(1.0 mmol) with terminal alkynes(2.2 mmol) catalyzed by cesium hydroxy gave exclusively (Z)-1,2-bis(arylseleno)-1-alkenes, but under air and at -100 ℃, the reaction gave alkyne selenides in 83%95% yields based on the selenium atoms. The method for the preparation of alkyne selenides has advantages of available starting materials and simple procedures. The reaction mechanism was proposed.
