Abstract
A wide range of diselenides as precursors for selenium electrophiles is already known, but the development of reagents with higher selectivity is still ongoing. Herein we report the first synthesis of selenium-stabilized diselenides together with some preliminary reactions of these reagents in stereoselective selenenylation reactions.
