Abstract
A convenient one pot three-stage synthesis was used for obtaining new heteroylselenoglycolic and di-heteroylselenoglycolic acids by nucleophilic substitution reaction of the starting compounds pyridineselenol, pyridazineselenol, and quinolineselenol with α-chloro- or α,α-dichloroacetic acids for 1-h stirring. The newly synthesized compounds were screened biologically for anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities. The structure of all new compounds was confirmed by
1
H NMR,
13
C NMR, Mass, and IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses.
