Selenium alkylation

The 4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triaza-2-phosphapentalenes are deep red crystalline solids. For reactions, the 4,6-bis(diethylamino) derivative (99) was used (Scheme 34). The compound is not oxidized by air and does not react with sulfur or selenium. Alkylation takes place at the nitrogen atom adjacent to phosphorus. With diethylamine and alcohols no reaction is observed <86CB3213,87PS(30)780>. On simultaneous oxidation by sulfur or selenium, however, alcohols add to the P=N bond yielding... 

Alkyl selenazoles have been sulfonated. Thus 2,4-dimethylselenazole with fuming sulfuric acid (5% SO3) at 100°C gives 2.4-dimethy -5-sulfonylselenazole [m.p. 238 C (decomp.) (26)], which is relatively unstable. decomposing to give metallic selenium. 

Alkyl Isoquinolines. Coal tar contains small amounts of l-methylisoquinoline [1721-93-3] 3-methylisoquinoline [1125-80-0] and 1,3-dimetliylisoquinoline [1721-94-4J. The 1- and 3-methyl groups are more reactive than others in the isoquinoline nucleus and readily oxidize with selenium dioxide to form the corresponding isoquinoline aldehydes (174). These compounds can also be obtained by the hydrolysis of the dihalomethyl group. The 1- and 3-methyhsoquinolines condense with benzaldehyde in the presence of zinc chloride or acetic anhydride to produce 1- and 3-styryhsoquinolines. Radicals formed by decarboxylation of carboxyUc acids react to produce 1-aIkyhsoquinolines. 

Organosulfur Adsorbates on Metal and Semiconductor Surfaces. Sulfur compounds (qv) and selenium compounds (qv) have a strong affinity for transition metal surfaces (206—211). The number of reported surface-active organosulfur compounds that form monolayers on gold includes di- -alkyl sulfide (212,213), di- -alkyl disulfides (108), thiophenols (214,215), mercaptopyridines (216), mercaptoanilines (217), thiophenes (217), cysteines (218,219), xanthates (220), thiocarbaminates (220), thiocarbamates (221), thioureas (222), mercaptoimidazoles (223—225), and alkaneselenoles (226) (Fig. 11). However, the most studied, and probably most understood, SAM is that of alkanethiolates on Au(lll) surfaces. 

Selenium analogues RN=SeCl2 are unknown for R = aryl or alkyl and thermally unstable when R = CE3 or C2E5. The perfluoroalkyl derivatives are prepared by the reaction of dichloroamino compounds and Sc2Cl2 in CCI3E (Eq. 8.18), but they decompose at room temperature to the corresponding diazene and a mixture of selenium chlorides. 

The 1,5-isomers 13.3 (E = S) are colourless, air-stable solids. They are prepared by the cyclocondensation reaction of R2PN2(SiMe3)3 with sulfur dichloride or thionyl chloride. A similar cyclocondensation process, using a mixture of SeCU and Sc2Cl2 as a source of selenium, produces a mixture of the isomers 13.2 and 13.3 (E = Se, R = Ph). The structures of 13.3 (E = S, R = alkyl, aryl) are folded eight-membered rings with a cross-ring S S distance of ca. 2.50 This structural...
