Selenone

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Structural formula of the selenones with the functional group marked in blue .

In organic chemistry, selenones are a group of substances that contain the element selenium in an SeO 2 group. The selenones are selenium analogues of the sulfones . The latter contain a sulfur atom instead of a selenium atom.

synthesis

The oxidation of organic selenides R 1 -Se-R 2 (R 1 , R 2 = organyl radicals, such as, for example, alkyl or aryl radicals ) with strong oxidizing agents (HOF · acetonitrile) and aqueous work-up leads to selenones.
