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

Selenium is an essential trace element found in vegetables as selenomethionine (SeMet) and methylselenocysteine (MeSeCys). In the present study, we used stable isotopes of Se to investigate differences between how SeMet and MeSeCys are metabolized, using methylseleninic acid (MSA) as
