Abstract

Resorting to suitable methods, a wide variety of α-phenylselanyl imines were prepared from α-phenylselanyl aldehydes and α-phenylselanyl ketones. These compounds were reduced to afford β-phenylselanyl amines. Our experimental conditions have limited the well known deselenenylation side-reaction occurring with most hydrides. On the other hand, the reaction of α-phenylselanyl imines with organometallics led to the expected addition products only ...
