Selenium chemistry became, over the last 30 years, particularly useful for synthetic organic chemistry [1]. Inorganic as well as organic selenium compounds allow transformation which otherwise cannot be done or require much more drastic conditions to proceed. We have over the last 25 years explored the reactivity of elemental selenium as well as its inorganic and organic derivatives. We report here our recent finding concerning (i) organic diselenols and -diselenolates and (ii) the role of selenoxides in the enantioselective dihydroxylation of C,C double bonds using catalytic amounts of osmium tetroxide.

Selenium is an essential dietary trace element and its deficiency can cause some pathologies such as cardiac diseases. However, investigations have evidencied the toxicologic effect of organic and inorganic selenium compounds in the organs and enzymes.The present work examined the toxic effect of selenium on δ-ALA-D an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrrol heme. A possible protective role of zinc on inhibitory effect of selenium was also evaluated. The organic selenium compound, (CH3)2C (Seφ) (0CH3) caused a dose dependent inhibition of renal, hepatic and cerebral δ-ALA-D (p< 0.01). Also was evidencied that the selenium and zinc interaction not was able to restore the δ-ALA-D activity inhibited by selenium but increasing the inhibitory effect from the compound on the renal and cerebral enzyme.

The development of an efficient and mild synthetic methodology for the construction of bioactive fluorine-containing molecules represents one of the hot research topics in general synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, some recent progresses achieved in the development of detrifluoroacetylatively generated mono-fluorinated enolates via CC bond cleavage and their asymmetric nucleophilic reactions for assembly of chiral quaternary C-F center containing compounds.

Prevention Of Cancer

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace nutrient required for optimal human health. It has long been suggested that selenium has anti-cancer properties. However, clinical trials have shown inconclusive results on the potential of Se to prevent cancer. The suggested role of Se in the prevention of cancer is centered around its role as an antioxidant. Recently, the potential of selenium as a drug rather than a supplement has been uncovered. Selenium compounds can generate reactive oxygen species that could enhance the treatment of cancer. Transformed cells have high oxidative distress. As normal cells have a greater capacity to meet oxidative challenges than tumor cells, increasing the flux of oxidants with high dose selenium treatment could result in cancer-specific cell killing. If the availability of Se is limited, supplementation of Se can increase the expression and activities of Se-dependent proteins and enzymes. In cell culture, selenium deficiency is often overlooked. We review the importance of achieving normal selenium biology and how Se deficiency can lead to adverse effects. We examine the vital role of selenium in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Finally, we examine the properties of Se-compounds to better understand how each can be used to address different research questions.
