The electrochemical behaviour of [2H] benziso-1,2-selenazol-3-one (2b) in n
on aqueous media was studied using a platinum electrode. The corresponding
Se-monoxide 3 was isolated and characterised. Comparison with [2H] benziso-
1,2-thiazol-3-one (2a), [3H] benzo-1,2-dithiol-3-one (4a) and [3H] benzo-2,
1-thioselenol-3-one (4b) was performed. In the case of compounds 2a,b the i
mpact of the availability of the lone pair of the nitrogen atoms adjacent t
o the selenium atom on the electrochemical behaviour is discussed. (C) 2001
