Dimethyl selenide with the constitutional formula Se (CH 3 ) 2 is an organic chemical compound from the group of organoselenium compounds.
Occurrence
Dimethyl selenide is formed from inorganic selenium compounds by plants and fungi (especially Penicillium brevicaule ). The compound is also formed in humans when exposed to high levels of selenium (when its methylation is no longer sufficient) and is released via the lungs.
Extraction and presentation
Dimethyl selenide can be obtained by reacting metal selenides with methyl sulfates.
properties
Dimethyl selenide is a clear, colorless, smelly liquid that is soluble in ethanol.
