Synthesis of organic diselenide using zinc powder
Ping,Xunjun
, p. 1721 - 1725 (1993)
A new synthetic method of diselenide by reducing element selenium with zinc powder in basic environment, and then reacting with electrophiles is described. Nine diselenides are synthesized with yields between 52-90%.
LITHIUM DISELENIDE IN APROTIC MEDIUM - A CONVENIENT REAGENT FOR SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC DISELENIDES
Syper, Ludwik,Mlochowski, Jacek
, p. 6119 - 6130 (2007/10/02)
The reduction of selenium with lithium in THF in the presence of diphenylacetylene as a catalyst afforded lithium diselenide, which reacted with electrophiles giving alkyl or aryl diselenides 1 - 3 and selenides 4, as by-products.The useful method for preparation of diselenides based on this reaction was elaborated.
