Abstract

Bis [(2-dimethylaminomethyl) phenyl] diselenide (RSe) 2 was obtained by the organolithium route. It underwent facile reaction with stoichiometric amounts of bromine and iodine to give the corresponding arylselenium halides RSeBr and novel RSeI in which the selenium is covalently bonded to iodine. With an excess of bromine it gave the corresponding tribromide RSeBr3 but a similar reaction with iodine gave only RSeI. With diazomethane it gave the ...
