Selenoxide oxidations

edit

In the paragraph mentioned above, some oxidation reactions are reported which to me in the sence as they are discribed in this paragraph are highly ununderstandable. As I have no access to a scientific library I depend on the information in Wikipedia I am not able to track down the chemistry involved. Please who, that has access to scientific sources, is so kind to clearify this mist? T.vanschaik (talk) 09:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I will try to fix this. In return, please revert or correct your addition last week about RSeCl3 synthesis. SeOCl2 has nothing to do with that class of compounds.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Selenone, are they R2SeO2 or R2SeO

edit

The description of selenones is confused. In the text it is described as R2SeO (ketone analog) in the picture it is shown as R2SeO2 , a sulfone analog. Axiosaurus (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Aaaagh! Now I see(?) - selones R2CSe, are sometimes called selenones (e.g. by IUPAC) whereas selenone usually refers to R2SeO2, (sulfone analog) what a mess!Axiosaurus (talk) 10:38, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
