In the title compound, C16H14O2Se, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 87.08 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into layers parallel to the bc plane by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
A series of hitherto unreported mono- and di-keto diphenyl selenides have been efficiently synthesized in high yields by treatment of diphenyl selenide (1) with appropriately substituted acyl chloride using anhydrous aluminum chloride as catalyst and methylene chloride as solvent. The structures of the synthesized compounds have been confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis.
In the title molecule, C16H12Cl2O2Se, the C—Se—C angle is 100.05 (14)°, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings being 69.92 (17)°. The average endocyclic angles (Se—Car—Car; ar = aromatic) facing the Se atom are 120.0 (3) and 119.4 (3)°. The Se atom is essentially coplanar with the benzene rings, with Se—Car—Car—Car torsion angles of −179.2 (3) and −179.7 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains propagating along the a-axis direction. The chains are linked via C—H⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
In the title organoselenium compound, the C—Se—C angle is 99.0 (2)°, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the attached benzene rings being 79.1 (3)°.
Aim:The present study was focused on evaluation of antibacterial activity of 4,4'diacetyldiphenylselenide against some bacterial species.
Introduction:Many compounds containing selenium element, notably 4,4'diacetyldiphenylselenide, have started getting a great pharmacological interest as bioactive molecules insofar as the -In vitro -antimicrobial tests were carried out on different bacterial strains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
