The rearrangement of selenium ylides is even today almost unexplored, although it would provide access to important organoselenium compounds with broad downstream applications. In this report, the first systematic study of sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of selenium ylides using a simple rhodium catalyst with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol % is described. Selenium oxide pyrolysis of the rearrangement products gives access to important 1,1-disubstituted butadienes.

Alkylation and selenenylation of selenium-stabilized ester enolates have allowed the preparation of α-phenylselanyl esters 5, 7, 8 and of α,α-bis(phenylselanyl)esters 6, respectively. The competitive selenophilic reaction, leading to an allylic phenylselenide 9, was avoided in the presence of HMPA. α-phenylselanyl α,β-unsaturated esters 15 were prepared by oxidation of compounds 6 and dehydrohalogenation of β-chloroesters 17. Some other transformations: oxidation, transesterification and Grignard reaction were also studied. H2O2 oxidation of Z-esters 15 has led to stable E-α-seleninyl esters 20.
