Phenylselenenyl chloride, 98%

1. ɑ-Phenylselenoketones can be prepared, e.g. by reaction of Li enolates with phenylselenenyl halides, and conversion to the corresponding unsaturated ketones by selenoxide elimination: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 97, 5434 (1975). Oxidizing agents include H₂O₂, mCPBA or periodate. For application to ß-diketones, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 6, 23 (1988):
2. ß-Keto lactones undergo a similar sequence to give unsaturated lactones: J. Org. Chem., 46, 2920 (1981). -Lactones can be converted to dihydrofurans and thence to furans: J. Org. Chem., 40, 542 (1975). Similarly, cyclohexenones can be aromatized to phenols by selenenylation of the enolate and oxidation with mCPBA: Tetrahedron Lett., 23, 51 (1982). For a comprehensive review of the preparation of ɑß-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and nitriles byselenoxide elimination, see: Org. React., 44, 1 (1993).
3. Adds to alkenes to give trans-chloroselenylated dervatives via a selenium bridged cation: J. Org. Chem., 39, 428 (1974); Tetrahedron Lett., 4977 (1978). Also widely applied in cyclization of various molecules containing olefinic double bonds, e.g. unsaturated alcohols undergo seleno-etherification: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 102, 3784 (1980); Tetrahedron Lett., 31, 5917 (1990).
