The title compound, C17H19O2PSe, was obtained in the reaction of the diphenylmonoselenophosphinic acid ammonium salt with pivaloyl chloride. The P—Se bond length of 2.0769 (11) Å is normal, while the P—O bond length of 1.650 (3) Å is longer than in related O-alkyl and O-aryl derivatives. One phenyl ring is periplanar to the Se—P—C plane, while the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is ca 73°. The carbonyl group is in a position [torsion angle = 8.9 (6)°] to one of the methyl groups of the pivaloyl group. This is the first O-acyl derivative of diphenylmonoselenophosphinic acid characterized by X-ray structural analysis.

O-Pivaloyl diphenylmonoselenophosphinate was obtained in the reaction of diphenylmonoselenophosphinic acid ammonium salt with pivaloyl chloride with 43% yield (Rachon et al., 2005, compound numbered as 2u, melting point 63-65 °C). Relevant 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, MS and IR spectra were recorded and are consistent with the formula anticipated - see the supporting information for the article cited.
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a standard riding model. C–H bond lengths were set to 0.98 or 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) were set to 1.5 or 1.2 Ueq(C) for methyl or aromatic C–H groups, respectively.
The residual electron density peak is 0.84 Å from Se1, the deepest electron density hole is 1.24 Å from Se1.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

O-acyl monoselenophosphates were studied in a search for potential selenoacylating agents. O-pivaloyl-diphenylmonoselenophosphinate, C17H19O2PSe, was obtained in the reaction of diphenylmonoselenophosphinic acid ammonium salt with pivaloyl chloride (Rachon et al., 2005). The P—Se bond length is normal for a double bond, while the P—O bond is rather long when compared with the related O-alkyl and O-aryl derivatives (see Table 1). One phenyl ring is placed periplanar to the Se—P—C plane, while the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is relatively small. The carbonyl group is in a synperiplanar position [torsion angle = 8.9 (6)°] to one of methyl groups in the pivaloyl group.
This compound, together with O-p-chlorobenzoyl-diphenylselenophosphinate, reported in the following paper, are the first structures determined by X-ray diffraction of O-acyl derivatives of diphenylmonoselenophosphinic acid reported. Only four related O-alkyl and O-aryl derivatives were characterized by x-ray study so far: methyl diphenylselenophosphinate (Lepicard et al., 1969), 1,4-bis(diphenyl(seleno)phosphinito)cyclohexane (Balakrishna et al., 2005); 1,1'-methylene-bis(2-((diphenylphosphoroselenoyl)oxy)naphthalene) (Balakrishna et al., 2002) and O-2-naphthyl diphenylselenophosphinate (Mague et al., 2007).
