Synthesis and Characterization of a New Organoselenium and Organotellurium Compounds Depending on 9-Chloro-10-Nitro-9,10-Dihydroanthracene

Abstract

The present work refers to the preparation of novel organoselenocyanate and organotellurocyanate that occurs in two reaction steps: the first one is the synthesis of potassium selenocyanate and potassium tellurocyanate obtained by the reaction of selenium and tellurium metal with potassium cyanide in dimethyl sulphoxide as a solvent under nitrogen gas of interest. The second one is the synthesis of selenocyanate and tellurocyanate derivatives which is from the reaction between the synthesized potassium selenocyanate and potassium tellurocyanate and 9-chloro-10-nitro-9,10-dihydroanthracene. all the compounds were characterized by 1-H NMR, infrared (IR), and mass spectroscopy (MS).
