ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Organoselenium Compounds from Two Methyl Undecynoates.

Use of phenylselenyl chloride in the preparation of methyl 11‐phenylseleno‐10‐acetamido‐ and ethyl phenylselenoethoxy fatty alkanoates

“…These phenylselenyl reagents also are used in a number of reactions involving unsaturated compounds (11)(12)(13) to form aminoselenides and alkanones and for the effective introduction of unsaturated functionality (14,15). Thus, organoselenium compounds are useful as synthetic reagents.…”

“…A literature survey revealed that phenylselenyl reagents participate in a number of useful reactions such as addition (1)(2)(3)(4), cyclization (5)(6)(7), and others (8)(9)(10). These phenylselenyl reagents also are used in a number of reactions involving unsaturated compounds (11)(12)(13) to form aminoselenides and alkanones and for the effective introduction of unsaturated functionality (14,15). Thus, organoselenium compounds are useful as synthetic reagents.…”
