Abstract

The Markedly Enhanced Basicity of Selenenamides vs Sulfenamides and the Mechanism of the Methanolysis of &Nitro- and 2,4,6-Tri- tert-butylben~eneselenenamides~ ... John L. Kice' and Andrei G. Kutateladze ... Department of Chemistry, University of Denver, Denver, Colorado 80208 ... Measurement in acetonitrilemethanol of the basicity of selenenamides shows that they are approximately 3 pK units more basic than the corresponding sulfenamides. Since ...
