โฆ Synopsis
The reduction of elemental selenium by samarium diiodide led to selective formation o f selenolate anion species (Se2 ~ and St.5 -), the alkylation of which provided dialkyl selenides and diselenides, respectively, in excellent yields.

Elemental sulfur can be reduced to the corresponding thiolate anion species (S โซื2โฌ and ) se- ## โซื2โฌ S 2 lectively by samarium diiodide in the presence and absence of HMPA, respectively. The subsequent alkylation of the thiolate anion species provides a useful synthetic route to dialkyl sulfides
