Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of some ebselen analogues and diaryl diselenides, which have amino acid functions as an intramolecularly coordinating group (Se⋅⋅⋅ O) has been achieved by the DCC coupling procedure. The reaction of 2, 2′-diselanediylbis (5-tert- butylisophthalic acid) or the activated ester tetrakis (2, 5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl) 2, 2′- diselanediylbis (5-tert-butylisophthalate) with different C-protected amino acids (Gly, L- ...
