TRANS 1,2-FUNCTIONALIZATION OF CYCLOALKENES USING SELENIUM INTERMEDIATES

The reaction of excess phenylselenenyl halides with trisubstituted cyclic olefins in aqueous acetonitrile is regio- and stereospecific and affords trans halohydrins in excellent yields.The reaction proceeds through the formation of a β-hydroxyalkyl phenyl selenide which evolves to halohydrin presumably via an epoxy-intermediate.
