Abstract

[4371-90-8] C2H6OSe (MW 125.03) InChI = 1S/C2H6OSe/c1-4(2)3/h1-2H3 InChIKey = OOYOEHGKYKMRJI-UHFFFAOYSA-N (mild oxidizing agent;1, 2 electrophilic reagent for oxyselenation of alkenes;3 electrophile for aromatic substitutions4, 5) Physical Data: mp 94 °C. Solubility: sol water, ethanol, acetone, chloroform. Preparative Methods: readily obtained by oxidation of dimethyl selenide with 30% aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide at –10 °C, or with Ozone in chloroform at –50 °C; also prepared by treating dimethylselenium dibromide with Silver(II) Oxide in methanol. Purification: recrystallization from benzene gives the pure material as colorless needles. Handling, Storage, and Precautions: hygroscopic; decomposes in ether, acetonitrile, THF, and CS2; since the reactions of dimethyl selenoxide often produce volatile organoselenium derivatives having a highly unpleasant odor, use in a well-ventilated fume hood.
