Electrophilic azido selenenylation of alkenes. A simple synthetic route to racemic taxol side chain

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808007031

Simple alkenes react with PhSeOTf and NaN₃ in MeCN to afford β- phenylseleno azides as the result of a stereospecific trans addition. The regioselectivity of the process is determined by the structure of the alkene.
