The treatment of benzyl dialkyl phosphites and dithiophosphites with benzeneselanyl chloride generates an Arbuzov-type transformation leading to the dialkyl selenophosphates 19a and 19b and to selenophosphorodithioates 21a and 21b. Interaction of these substrates with Lawesson's reagent yields the corresponding selenophosphorothioates 20a and 20b and the selenophosphorotrithioates 22a and 22b. When treated with a radical initiator in the presence of a hydrogen donor and an alkene, all eight phosphorus(V) precursors undergo homolytic cleavage of the P-Se bond to generate the phosphonyl, phosphonothioyl, phosphonodithioyl, or phosphonotrithioyl radicals. Most of these are shown to add onto electron-rich and electron-poor alkenes to deliver the expected adducts in fair to excellent yields. Cyclic precursor 19b displays peculiar behavior and, under the reaction conditions, produces only the corresponding cyclic phosphite. Application of this radical chain process is carried out on furanosyl 3-exo-methylene derivative 37 to diastereoselectively furnish five new 3-phosphonomethyl-, 3-phosphonothiomethyl-, and 3-phosphonodithiomethyl-3-deoxofuranoses 38a-c and 38f,g. The possibility of conducting tandem processes is also discussed through experiments involving (1R)-(+)-α-pinene (39) and diallylamine 41.
