Enzyme mimicry : Halogenation of diselenide 1 affords the cyclic selenenate ester 2 (see scheme) through a highly unstable selenenic acid intermediate. Compound 2 exhibits a strong intramolecular nonbonding Se⋅⋅⋅O interaction. Both 1 and 2 show excellent glutathione peroxidase‐like catalytic activity.
