Abstract

Most investigations have focused on the preparation and reactivity of selenoxides,'but selenones have received little attention. Selenones have been prepared by oxidation of selenides using an excess of peroxycarboxylic acids, 2 potassium permanganate, 2 or hydrogen peroxide in the presence of seleninic acid. 3 These methods have several disadvantages and can be applied only to selenides with limited structural features in the ...
