Novel ring system with an Se-O-N linkage: Synthesis and crystal structure of the first 1,2 lambda(4),5-oxaselenazolidine
Oxidation of beta -aminoalkyl selenide 4a with an excess amount of mCPBA gave 1,2 lambda (4),5-oxaselenazolidine 1, a novel heterocyclic compound with an Se-O-N linkage. Its X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the oxaselenazolidine ring has an envelope conformation.
