title: Synthesis and chromatographic properties of selenazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (selenaproline).
abstract: Details are reported for the synthesis of DL-selenazolidine-4-carboxylic acid starting from DL-selenocystine and formaldehyde. Some chemical reactions and the paper and ion-exchange chromatographic behaviour of selenazolidine carboxylic acid in comparison with thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid are described.
