67. The reaction of SCO with PhLi was examined in detail in order to compare the reactivities of SeCO and SCO. Thus, SCO was treated with PhLi under identical conditions as in run 1 of Table 1 by using MeI instead of BzBr; the corresponding thiol ester 3 was obtained in 95% yield via carbophilic attack without any thiophilic products (eq (Formula Presented)

69. It is not clear yet why organocopper reagents prefer carbophilic attack to selenophilic attack.
