Synthesis and characterization of some α-naphthyl selenium/tellurium derivatives: X-ray crystal structure of benzyl-1-naphthyl selenide and diphenylmethyl-1-naphthyl selenide

The synthesis and characterization of a large number of alkyl-1-naphthyl selenides/tellurides and some α,ω-bis(1-naphthylseleno)alkanes (1-14) has been reported. Interpretation of 1H/13C NMR spectra and assignment of individual resonances for tris(1-naphthylseleno)methane have been done with the help of [1H-1H] and [1H-13C] correlation spectroscopy and 77Se NMR of most of the compounds studied has been reported.
