Direct conversion of a benzylic hydroxy group into a selenenyl group using the phenyl trimethylsilyl selenide-aluminum bromide combination

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.

Sigmatropic Rearrangement of Ylides Derived from Benzylic Selenonium Salts

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.
