✦ Synopsis

The utility of aryl selenide anions for effecting a wide variety of synthetic transformations is now well-established.

1 In this communication we wish to report a new method for generating a reactive phenyl selenide anion and the application of this anion to the facile, high-yield cleavage of alkyl esters.
