ment. The individuality of the samples obtained was controlled
by TLC on Silufol UVꢀ254 plates, using a mixture of acetꢀ
one—hexane (1 : 1) as an eluent and the iodine vapors or a UV
detector as a visualizing agent. Melting points of compounds
were determined on a Kofler heating stage and were not correctꢀ
ed. The preparation and the properties of selenolates 1b 23 and
1d 24 were described earlier. Selenolates 1a,c were synthesized
according to the known procedure25 by the reaction of aldehydes
with 2 equiv. of cyanoselenoacetamide 4 in the presence of
Nꢀmethylmorpholine. Cyanoselenoacetamide 4 was obtained by
passing H2Se through the solution of malononitrile in diethyl
ether.26 All the syntheses were carried out under argon.

Tetraazatricyclo[7.3.1.02,7]tridecꢀ2ꢀeneꢀ8ꢀselenones 2.
Method A. A mixture of the corresponding selenolate 1 (2.3 mmol),
a primary amine (6 mmol), and excess of the 37% aqueous formꢀ
aldehyde (54 mmol, 4.0 mL) in EtOH (40 mL) was stirred for
10 min under argon, then refluxed until the starting reagents
were dissolved (~2—3 min), rapidly filtered through a paper
filter, and allowed to stand for 24 h at room temperature under
argon. A precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with EtOH
and hexane.
Method B. A mixture of benzaldehyde 3 (0.14 mL, 1.36 mmol),
freshly prepared cyanoselenoacetamide 4 (0.20 g, 1.36 mmol),
and morpholine (1 drop) in ethanol (15 mL) was stirred under
argon at 20 C. After 10 min, the corresponding primary amine
(2.9 mmol) and excess of 37% aq. formaldehyde (2.0 mL,
27 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred for another
10 min. Then, the solution obtained was refluxed for 2—3 min,
filtered through a folded paper filter, and allowed to stand for
24 h at room temperature under argon. A precipitate formed was
filtered off and washed with EtOH and hexane.
