Abstract
The nitrosation of selenols REH [E = Se, R = 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenyl, (Me3Si)3Si] with tert-Bu nitrite at -78° generated the 1st Se-nitrososelenol, REN:O (2b and 4b, resp.), which were identified by IR spectroscopy and further proven by its 1,4-addn. to 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene. Compd. 2b decomps. rapidly to give diselenide R2E2. The expts. may give insight into the interactions of selenoproteins with NO in vivo. [on SciFinder(R)]
