B. Dakova et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF PHARMACOLOGICALLY INTERESTING SELENOORGANIC COMPOUNDS .3. ORTHO-METHYLSELENO-BENZANILIDES, Electrochimica acta, 39(4), 1994, pp. 501-505
The electrochemical behaviour of 2-(methylseleno)benzanilide, one of t
he major metabolites of Ebselen, together with a series of 2-methylsel
eno-(4'-X-phenyl)benzamides were investigated by voltammetry using a r
otating platinum electrode, cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential c
oulometry and electrolysis. The measurements were realized in acetonit
rile solution. The influence of temperature and acid on the nature of
the oxidized products is shown. Comparison with their thio analogs is
discussed.
