The photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition (Paternò - Büchi reaction) of silyl O,Se-ketene acetal (SKA) 2 with aromatic aldehyde 3 affords regioselectively 3-selanyl-3-siloxyoxetane 4 (trans:cis ? 65:35-85:15) in good to high yields under the aldehyde excitation conditions (hv > 320 nm). A 70:30 mixture of the regioisomers 4aa (trans:cis = 50:50) and 5aa (= 6a), however, is produced in the 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA)-sensitized photoreaction (hv >400 nm) of 2a and 3a. A 1,4-diradical 1,4-DR is proposed for the n-π* excited aldehyde reaction, which regioselectively produces the 3-selanyloxetane 4. The regio-random formation of the oxetanes 4 and 5 (= 6) under the DPA-sensitized conditions is reasonably rationalized by the intervention of radical ion intermediate RI.
