Abstract:

Diphenyl diselenide was oxidized by Selectfluor and added to alkenes catalyed by silver triflate. The reaction performed in CH2Cl2 in the presence of water or alcohol leading to β-hydroxy or β-alkoxy selenides in good yields in the range of 72%~94%. The reaction conditions and the scope of substrates were discussed. This method has some advantages such as mild reaction conditions and high yields.

Key words: Selectfluor, alkene, diphenyl diselenide, oxidation, addition
