Description

General description

Potassium selenocyanate is a crystalline solid and a reagent for the conversion of alkyl halides to nitriles, and the production of pharmaceutical intermediates. It also finds application in the field of energy storage devices.[1][2]

Application

Potassium selenocyanate can be used as a:

• Redox-active electrolyte to enhance the performance of carbon-based supercapacitors.[1]
• Starting material for the one-pot stereoselective synthesis of alkyl styryl selenides.[2]
• Precursor to synthesize Cu and Ni complexes with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory activities.[3]
• Selenylating agent to prepare stereoselective selenoglycosides and selenium-linked disaccharides.[4]
