Abstract Secondary phosphine selenides react with acylacetylenes in water to form bis(2-acylvinyl) selenides. The reaction proceeds without catalyst and organic solvent under mild conditions (70–72 °C, 3 h), the corresponding divinyl selenides being isolated as a mixture of ( Z,Z )- and ( E,Z )-isomers in a yield of up to 78%.
