Bis(2-chloroethyl)selenide is the organoselenium compound with the formula Se(CH2CH2Cl)2. As a haloalkyl derivative of selenium, it is an analogue of bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, the prototypical sulfur mustard used in chemical warfare. Bis(2-chloroethyl)selenide has not been used as a chemical warfare agent, however it is still a potent alkylating agent and has potential in chemotherapy.[1][2][3][4][5]
