Abstract

The metathesis reactions of N-(trimethylsilyl) dialkylamines with benzeneselenenyl chloride afford high yields of N, N-dialkylselenenamides 1 a-1 f. Similarly, N-(trimethylsilyl) acetamide produces the unstable N-(phenylseleno) amide 2 in situ while N-(trimethylsilyl) imidazole and N-(trimethylsilyl) benzimidazole undergo selenenylation at the 4-and 2-position, respectively, to provide the selenides 3 and 4. N-(Trimethylsily) phthalimide failed to react ...
