| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Benzeneseleninyl chloride could be used to introduce β-unsaturation in ketones and esters, oxidation of amines and aldoximes, and halogenation of alkenes and aromatic compounds with aluminum halides).
| [Synthesis]
Benzeneseleninyl chloride is obtained from the oxidation of Benzeneselenenyl Chloride in CH2Cl2 or CCl4 with Ozone[1-2].
| [Precautions]
Benzeneseleninyl chloride crystals are extremely hygroscopic, and care must be taken to avoid moisture. Solutions in CH2Cl2 are stable for weeks when stored at -15 °C. Selenium compounds are potentially toxic and should be handled in a fume hood. | [References]
