Wittig and Wittig-Horner reactions with α-phenylselenoaldehydes lead to allylic selenides.The corresponding selenoxides undergo 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement providing a route to α-hydroxy β,γ-ethylenic esters and ketones in good yields.In a some way, we prepare, also enals with an additional carbon.
