General description

Dimethyl diselenide is a volatile selenium species and its determination in biological samples by HPLC-inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometry was reported. Selenium alkylation with dimethyl diselenide was reported by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Application

Dimethyl diselenide is the most powerful reagent used to identify distonic radical cations.

Dimethyl diselenide is demonstrated to be among the most powerful reagents used to identify distonic radical cations. Most such ions readily abstract CH3Se from dimethyl diselenide. The reaction is faster and more exclusive than CH3S(·) abstraction from dimethyl disulfide, a

The reduction of cancer incidence by dietary supplementation with L-selenomethionine, L-Se-methylselenocysteine, and other methylated selenium compounds and metabolites is believed to be due to the metabolic generation of the monomethylated selenium species methylselenol.
