A mechanistic study of the hydroselenation of alkynes catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4 and Pt(PPh3)4 has shown that the palladium complex gives products of both Se-H and Se-Se bond addition to the triple bond of alkynes, while the platinum complex selectively catalyzes Se-H bond addition. The key intermediate of PhSeH addition to the metal center, namely Pt(H)(SePh)(PPh3)2, was detected by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The analogous palladium complex rapidly decomposes with evolution of molecular hydrogen. A convenient method was developed for the preparation of Markovnikov hydroselenation products H2C=C(SePh)R, and the scope of this reaction was investigated. The first X-ray structure of the Markovnikov product H2C=C(SePh)CH2N+ HMe2·HOOC=COO- is reported.
