Application

Selenourea [(SeC(NH2)2)] has been used as a selenium (Se) precursor for the insertion of Se into protein crystals.
It can also be used as a reagent to synthesize:
  • Selenazoles from α -bromo ketones presence of β -cyclodextrin.
  • Symmetrical diaryl selenides by C-Se cross coupling reaction in presence of coper oxide nanaoparticles as a catalyst.
  • CdSe nanocrystals.

Reactions of biological oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radicals ((*)OH), singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) with selenourea were studied. The kinetics of the reactions was followed using time-resolved techniques, and the bimolecular rate constants were determined.
