Abstract
A convenient and simple method for the synthesis of dibenzyl diselenid es under phase transfer conditions is described. The process involves the reaction of selenium with sodium hydroxide at 65-70 degrees C and under phase transfer conditions to give sodium diselenides, which reac ts with benzyl halides to afford the dibenzyl diselenides in good to e xcellent isolated yields. The reaction mechanism is briefly discussed.
