Abstract
AbstractReactions of selenium with imines (RR1CNR2) of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of carbon monoxide, water and triethylamine lead to reductive selenation, on aerobic work‐up, to afford symmetrical diselenides (RR1CHSe)2 in good to excellent yields. The proposed mechanism suggests that both in situ generated carbonyl selenide (SeCO) and hydrogen selenide (H2Se) are involved in the reaction.
