Introduction
Sodium selenide is an odourless white crystalline solid, which is soluble in water. Sodium selenide is very useful in the preparation of a wide variety of selenium-containing heterocycles.[ 1 ] It can be used for the synthesis of substituted selenophenes, [2] [3] nitroxide annulated 3-amino-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)selenophene,[ 4 ] bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)selenide,[ 5 ] phosphinodiselenoic acid salt,[ 6 ] unsaturated selenacrown ethers,[ 7 ] diselenobenzoquinone complexes,[ 8 ] and 1,4-dichalcogenanes.[ 9 ] In addition, it has been employed in the ring opening of epoxides[ 10 ] and γ-butyrolactones.[ 11 ]
Sodium selenide is commercially available and can be prepared by reduction of elemental selenium with sodium in liquid ammonia (Scheme [1]).[ 12 ]
