Syntheses and reactivities of thiophenetriptycenesulfenic (Thtrip-SOH) and selenenic acids (Thtrip-SeOH) and triptycneneselenenic acid (Trip-SeOH) were investigated.1. Attempted synthesis of Thtrip-SeOH The oxidation of Thtrip-Se-n-Bu with dimethyldioxirane (DMD) gave the corresponding selenoxide [Thtrip-Se(O)-n-Bu] . The thermal beta-elimination of the selenoxide yielded Thtrip-Se(O)Se-Thtrip, instead of the desired selenenic acid (ThtripSeOH). Thtrip-Se(O)Se-Thtrip is the first isolable selenoseleninates and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.2. Synthesis of Trip-SeOH The oxidation of Trip-Se-n-Bu with DMD gave the corresponding selenoxide [Trip-Se(O)-n-Bu], the beta-elimination of which yielded the desired Trip-SeOH in a good yield. Trip-SeOH is the first isolable alkancselenenic acid and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.3. Reactions of Trip-SeOH Heating a solution of Trip-SeOH in dichloromethane yielded the selenoseleninate, Trip-Se(O)Se-Trip. The dimerization was not accelerated by an acid. The treatment of Trip-Se(O)Se-Trip with Et^c_3N furnished a mixture of TripSe(O)SeTrip, Trip-SeSe-Trip, and Trip-SeO_2HEt_3N, the molar ratio of which was 1 : 1 : 1. Acid-catalized hydrolysis of TripSe(O)SeTrip gave TripSeOH quantitatively.
