Abstract

Summary Irradiation of P-aryl-aP-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and of some imino-derivatives of benzalde- hyde in the presence of benzeneselenol leads to formation of the corresponding saturated compounds. ... COMPOUNDS containing selenium have received much recent with benzeneselenol and here outline some preliminary attention as reducing agents. Benzeneselenol has been used findings. The principal results are summarised in the Table.
