The reaction of selenium tetrachloride with allylbenzene and allyl phenyl ether proceeds in accordance with the Markownikoff rule to give 1:2 adducts.The use of selenium tetrabromide changes the course of the reaction and leads to the production of a mixture of adducts in accordance with and counter to the Markownikoff rule, as well as products of cyclization of the intermediate monoadducts to 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzoselenophene or 2-bromomethyl-benzo-1,3-selenoxane derivatives.
