Monoterpenoid selenophenes derived from (−)-carvone with GPx-like activity

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry
Mentoselenophenone 1 was prepared by a one-step reaction of the natural product (−)-carvone with SeBr2. Several derivatives of 1 were also prepared. All but lactam 8 showed GPx-like activity, increasing in the order 3 < 1 < 7 < 2 < 6.
