Abstract
A simple and mild synthesis for pyrrolyl and pyrrolo[2, 3]pyrimidinyl diphenyl selenides is described based on the reaction of active methylene compounds with 4′-nitro-4-acetylaminodiphenyl selenide. The sensitivity of
77
Se NMR spectra allowed differentiating the rather similar pyrrole compounds. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities.
