'''Benzeneselenol''' is the ] with the formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>SeH, often abbreviated ]SeH. This intensely malodorous liquid is a useful reagent in ]. '''Benzeneselenol''', also known as '''selenophenol''', is the ] with the ] {{chem2|C6H5SeH|auto=1}}, often abbreviated ]SeH. It is the ] analog of ]. This colourless, malodorous compound is a ] in ].<ref name=eEROS/>


==Synthesis and basic properties== ==Synthesis==
PhSeH is prepared via the reaction of ] and ]:<ref>{{OrgSynth | author = Foster, D.

:PhMgBr + Se → PhSeMgBr
:PhSeMgBr + HCl → PhSeH + MgBrCl


Since benzeneselenol does not have a long shelf life, it is often generated in situ. A common method is by reduction of ]. A further reason for this conversion is that often, it is the anion that is sought.<ref name=eEROS/>

==Reactions==
More so than thiophenol, benzeneselenol is easily oxidized by air to give ]. An idealized equation for this reaction is:
More so than thiophenol, benzeneselenol is easily oxidized by air. The facility of this reaction reflects the weakness of the Se-H bond, ] of which is estimated to be between 67 and 74 kcal/mol.<ref name=eEROS/> In contrast, the S-H BDE for thiophenol is near 80 kcal/mol.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/jp035622w|title=The S−H Bond Dissociation Enthalpies and Acidities of Para and Meta Substituted Thiophenols: A Quantum Chemical Study |year=2003 |last1=Chandra |first1=Asit K. |last2=Nam |first2=Pham-Cam |last3=Nguyen |first3=Minh Tho |journal=The Journal of Physical Chemistry A |volume=107 |issue=43 |pages=9182–9188 |bibcode=2003JPCA..107.9182C}}</ref> The product is ] as shown in this idealized equation:


: 2 PhSeH + O &rarr; PhSeSePh + H<sub>2</sub>O :{{chem2|4 PhSeH + O2 -> 2 PhSeSePh + 2 H2O}}


The presence of the ] is signaled by a yellow coloration in most samples of PhSeH. The diselenide can be converted back to the selenol by reduction followed by acidification of the resulting PhSe<sup>−</sup>. The presence of the ] in benzeneselenol is indicated by a yellow coloration. The diselenide can be converted back to the selenol by reduction followed by acidification of the resulting {{chem2|PhSe−}}.


PhSeH is acidic with a ] of 5.9. Thus at neutral ], it is mostly ionized:
PhSeH is approximately seven times more acidic than the related ]. Both compounds dissolve in water upon the addition of base.
