Application

Selenous acid can be used as a reagent to synthesize:
  • α-Ketoacectals by reacting with acetophenones and triethylorthoformate in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate as a catalyst.
  • 4-Formyl-7-methylcoumarin using 4,7-dimethylcoumarin in the presence of xylene as a solvent.
  • Selenium substituted quinoxaline derivatives from 2,3-dichloro quionoxaline.

A simple one-vial-method was developed for the quantitative determination of sphingomyelinase activity in human leukocytes and urine, using [14C-methyl] sphingomyelin. The measured activities of healthy control persons show a higher scatter in (n=50) urine (1.2 +/- 0.5 nmol/h . ml

1,2-Oxaselenolane Se-oxide is a novel cyclic seleninate ester that functions as a remarkably efficient glutathione peroxidase mimetic by catalyzing the reduction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide to tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of benzyl thiol. The seleninate ester can be conveniently generated
