Abstract
Under acidic conditions zinc reduces diselenides to afford selenols, which can be either isolated or treated in situ with alkyl halides to produce alkyl selenides or with epoxides to give β-hydroxyselenides.
Key words
zinc - selenium - nucleophilic substitutions - ring opening - reductions
