Abstract

As part of an effort to develop mild and selective two electron oxidants for phenolic compounds, we have been investigating the chemistry of diarylselenuranes2 bearing heteroatoms. The classical role of selenium dioxide in organic synthesis has been expanded to include a number of organoselenium reagents of various oxidation states for~ elenium.~ Balenovic was the first to report that diphenyl selenoxide is an effective oxidant ...
