Vn. Nesterov et al., SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES, AND STRUCTURE OF ALLYLSELENO-3,5-DICYANO-6-HYDROXY-4-PHENYLPYRIDINE, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(1), 1994, pp. 118-120
The synthesis of allylseleno-3,5-dicyano-6-hydroxy-4-phenylpyridine ha
s been carried out and its cyclization into yl-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydrosel
enazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium triiodide has been studied. X-ray investigati
on shows that allylselenopyridine in the crystalline state exists as h
ydroxy derivative and the allyl substituent is approximately perpendic
ular to the heterocyclic plane. In crystal the molecules are linked by
hydrogen bonds forming dimers.
