Abstract

Organoselenium compounds have received considerable attention as useful synthetic reagents and intermediates in organic synthesis. Among them, dialkyl diselenides are frequently used us starting materials and reagents in functional group transformations [1]. Many methods have been reported so far for the synthesis of dialkyl selenides. For example, most common methods involve the reaction of metal diselenides with alkyl halides [2], ...
