Electrochemical Preparation of Organic Diselenides
By the method of electrosynthesis a number of organic diselenides can be prepared simply and without danger. The cathodic polarisation of a special selenium electrode in aprotic solutions gives rise to polyselenideanions, which react with electrophilic compounds to the corresponding diselenides of the general formula RSeSeR (2a–e) with R = benzyl, 2‐nitrophenyl, cyclohexyl, isopropyl, 4‐cyanophenyl.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
