(Received 24 May 2011; accepted 30 May 2011; online 4 June 2011)

The title mol­ecule, C10H6O4Se2, lies on a twofold rotation axis. The Se—Se bond length of 2.305 (3) Å is similar to that in diphenyl diselenide [2.3066 (7) and 2.3073 (10) Å for the P and M isomers, respectively] and longer than that in 1,8-diseleno­naph­thalene [2.0879 (8) Å]. The mol­ecule adopts a gauche conformation with respect to the C=O groups.

Supporting information


Comment top

We have recently reported (Fuller et al., 2010) on the crystallization of Ph-Se-Se-Ph as one isomer. We were interested to see if this homocrystallization occurs for other diselenides. In the title compound, we observe a single isomer in the crystal rather than a mixture of P and M isomers. The Se—Se bond length of 2.305 (3)Å is similar to that in diphenyldiselenide (2.3066 (7) and 2.3073 (10) Å for P and M isomers, respectively, Fuller et al., 2010) and longer than that in 1,8-diselenonaphthalene (2.0879 (8)Å, Aucott et al., 2004).

Experimental top

N-(furan-2-carbonyl)furan-2-carboxamide (0.205 g, 1.0 mmol) and Woollins reagent (0.54 g, 1.0 mmol) in 20 ml of dry toluene was refluxed for 10 h. Upon cooling to room temperature and removing toluene in vacuum the residue was purified by silica gel column (eluented by 1: 1 hexane / dichloromethane) to give 0.213 g of 1 as a pale yellow solid in 61% yield. Crystals for X-ray data collection were obtained by diffusion of hexane into a dichloromethane solution of (I). 1H NMR (CD2Cl2, δ), 8.01 (d, J(H,H) = 8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.54 (d, J(H,H) = 8.2 Hz, 2H), 6.90–6.84 (m, 2H) p.p.m.. 13C NMR (CD2Cl2, δ), 179.1 (C=O), 154.1, 148.1, 125.0, 117.1 p.p.m.. 77Se NMR (CD2Cl2, δ), 624.5 p.p.m.. MS (CI+, m/z), 351 [M+H]+.

Refinement top

The partial completeness of ca 95% data may affect the precision of the structure. All H atoms were included in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95Å and were refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt).
