In in first part, selenium conducted elimination reaction of thioesters was discussed. This is a two-step one-pot reaction, which firstly give an alpha selenium substitute of thioesters, then oxidize the selenium intermediate gives an elimination reaction, which lead to the α,β-unsaturated thioester as the product. In in second part, an In(III)-TMSBr-catalyzed aryldihydronaphthalene derivatives synthesis method is discussed, the indium catalyst makes the aryl alkyne react with two molecules of acrylate and gives an aryldihydronaphthalene derivative as the product.
