Open Data Verified Data
- selenium powder oxidation method: selenium powder and oxygen are reacted in the presence of nitrogen dioxide, the product is cooled to obtain a finished product, and pure selenium dioxide is obtained by sublimation.
- nitric acid oxidation method: crude selenium powder is added to the reactor to react with nitric acid, and the product is concentrated, filtered, dried, and then thermally decomposed to obtain selenium dioxide.

| Introduction | selenium dioxide is mainly defined as an oxidation reagent in organic synthesis, which participates in many oxidation reactions. In recent years, many reactions have been gradually replaced by other, more excellent reagents, probably due to the toxicity of the reagent. However, the oxidation reaction of selenium dioxide with active methyl, methylene and methylene groups still plays an important role in the conversion of organic chemical functional groups. |
