Abstract

Benzeneseleninic acid reacts rapidly at 0" C with aromatic sulfinic acids according to the stoichiometry of eq 3 to form Se-phenyl areneselenosulfonatea, PhSeS02Ar (2), in high yield. In contrast to thiosulfonates, P h SSO b, areneselenosulfonates are extremely photosensitive and undergo quite rapid photodecomposition. The principal products of this photodecomposition are the sulfonic anhydride, ArS020S02Ar, and diphenyl diselenide. ...
