Abstract

In spite of their importance as intermediates in organic synthesis, many organic diselenides have only been obtained by displacement of halides or tosylates by nucleophilic selenium species.'Carbonyl compounds are potentially attractive novel starting materials for such syntheses? Margolis' and Cohen4 found that reacting carbonyl compounds with hydrogen selenide gave diselenides in the presence of triethylamine. Lewick? reported the ...
