Abstract

Over the last three decades, many investigators have described important chemical transformations that were efficiently achieved using organoselenium reagents. Organoselenium compounds are of considerable interest because of their involvement as key intermediates in organic synthesis and use as a food supplement. [1] These compounds are no longer systematically classified as toxic and, thus, much effort is being devoted to accomplishing the synthesis of organic ...
