ChemInform Abstract: 2-Methylene-1,3-diselenole: a Precursor of Tetraselenafulvalene (TSeF).
First published: May 3, 1988
Abstract
The semicarbazone (I), derived from acetaldehyde, reacts with selenium dioxide (II) to form the 1,2,3-selenadiazole (III) which rearranges in the presence of tert-butylate to produce the methylene-1,3-diselenole (IV).
