Reaction of o-mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH) with Ph2Se results in the [Ph2SeNH2]+ cation; low temperature deprotonation (LDA), bromination (NBS) and then treatment with Ph2Se–Na[BPh4] generates [Ph2SeNSePh2][BPh4], via the selenimides Ph2Se[double bond, length as m-dash]NH and Ph2Se[double bond, length as m-dash]NBr.
