Synthesis and Study of a Persistent Selenenic Acid and Preliminary Studies of Thiol Oxidation

Selenenic acids and other organoselenium compounds are important both in organic and biochemistry. In organic chemistry, syn-elemination of selenoxides is used to prepare alkenes, giving a selenenic acid by-product. In biochemistry, selenocysteine is catalytically active in a variety of selenoenzyme...
