Contrasting Frustrated Lewis Pair Reactivity with Selenium‐ and Boron‐Based Lewis Acids

The activation of π‐bonds in diynyl esters has been investigated by using soft and hard Lewis acids. In the case of the soft selenium Lewis acid PhSeCl, sequential activation of the alkyne bonds leads initially to an isocoumarin (1 equiv PhSeCl) and then to a tetracyclic conjugated structure with th...
