The efficient regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (Z,Z)-3,3'-selanediylbis(2-propenamides) in 76-93% yields was developed based on the reaction of sodium selenide with 3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynamides. (Z,Z)-3,3'-Selanediylbis(2-propenamides) are a novel class of organoselenium compounds. To date, not a single representative of 3,3'-selanediylbis(2-propenamides) has been

The amount of volatile dimethylselenide (DMSe) in breath has been monitored after ingestion of sub-toxic amounts of selenium (300 microg (77)Se, as selenite) by a healthy male volunteer. The breath samples were collected in Tedlar bags every hour in the

Recent work has shown the presence of volatile selenium metabolites in human urine and suggested that these compounds could compromise quantitative selenium analyses by ICPMS. We show that with a commonly used sample introduction system (pneumatic nebulizer and spray chamber)
