The nitrosation of selenol 1 with an alkyl nitrite (see scheme) at −78 °C generated the first Se ‐nitrososelenol 2 , which was identified by IR spectroscopy and further proven by its 1,4‐addition to dimethylbutadiene. Compound 2 decomposes rapidly to give 3 . The experiments may give insight into the interactions of selenoproteins with NO in vivo.
