1,2-Oxaselenolane Se-oxide is a novel cyclic seleninate ester that functions as a remarkably efficient glutathione peroxidase mimetic by catalyzing the reduction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide to tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of benzyl thiol. The seleninate ester can be conveniently generated in situ by oxidation of allyl 3-hydroxypropyl selenide with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Its catalytic activity surpasses that of several other known GPx mimetics containing cyclic selenenamide structures, which were also tested for comparison.

generated 1,2-oxaselenolane Se-oxide (31) in situ by a series of oxidation and [2,3]sigmatropic rearrangement steps. The remarkably active cyclic seleninate 31 proved to be the true catalyst, reacting with the thiol via a postulated mechanism in which the thioseleninate 32 is first produced, followed by further thiolysis to selenenic acid 33 and oxidation-dehydration to regenerate 31. In contrast to catalysis
RhCl3 catalyzed the exchange reaction of disulfides and hypodiphosphoric acid tetraalkyl esters in water under homogeneous conditions, which indicated the hypodiphosphoric acid tetraalkyl esters to be novel and efficient phosphorylation reagents in water. The reaction was used in the phosphorylation of unprotected glutathione disulfide.
