Abstract:The present study reports a simple two‐step method for the synthesis of arylselanyl hydrazide derivatives using hypophosphorous acid and polyethylene glycol (H3PO2/PEG‐400) as an alternative reducing system and hydrazine hydrate (NH2NH2⋅xH2O/50–60 %). This single‐vessel procedure was employed with methyl acrylate 2a and methyl bromoacetate 2b using diaryl diselenides to generate the nucleophile species to produce, respectively, 3‐(arylselanyl)propane‐hydrazides 4a–e and 2‐(arylselanyl)acetohydrazides 5a–e with… Show more
