Reactions of selenobenzamide and alkyl halides. Synthesis of dialkyl selenides and diselenides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608004792

In the absence of base, the reaction of selenobenzamide with alkyl halides gives the dialkyl diselenides as the major product. While the reaction of selenobenzamide and an alkyl halide is carried out in a 1:2 molar ratio and in the presence of strong base, the dialkyl selenides predominate.
