Preparation of a symmetrical tetra-alkyl monoselenopyrophosphate: bis-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl) selenide
Abstract
Bis-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl)selenide (I), the first example of a symmetrical tetra-alkyl monoselenopyrophosphate, has been prepared by the reaction of selenous acid with 5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan (II).
