A new reagent system, phenyl trimethylsilyl selenide-aluminum bromide, was developed for the direct conversion of various benzylic hydroxy groups into a selenenyl group. Treatment of cinnamyl alcohol with this reagent system yielded 3,4-dihydro-4-phenyl-2H-1-benzoselenin via a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the intermediate cinnamyl phenyl selenide.

Treatment of benzyl alcohol with a new reagent system, benzene- or methaneselenolate anion-aluminum chloride, yielded the corresponding selenide. The one-pot conversion of benzaldehyde into benzyl selenide was also achieved by this system.
Sigmatropic Rearrangement of Ylides Derived from Benzylic Selenonium Salts

, p. 954 - 959 (2007/10/02)
The sigmatropic rearrangement of a series of ylides derived from benzylic selenonium salts has been observed.These ylides alkyl or aryl o-methylbenzyl selenides.The competition between nucleophilic displacement and ylide formation in the reaction of base with benzylic selenonium salts has been evaluated.
