摘要

Abstract Sodium borohydride in DMF is able to reduce elemental selenium in the presence of ethanol. Alkylation of the species resulting from the reaction of 2: 1 molar equivalents of NaBH 4/Se allows the selective synthesis, under very mild conditions, of symmetrical dialkyl selenides. Addition of formic acid, prior to that of the electrophile, permits the synthesis of the corresponding selenols.
