Summary.
An efficient protocol for the preparation of phenylselenoethers from unsaturated alcohols using phenylselenenyl halides at room temperature was developed. The procedure employs phenylselenenyl chloride and bromide, some Δ 4- and Δ 5-alkenols and Ag2O, as an additive, to generate the tetrahydropyrans or tetrahydrofurans. This method permits the preparation of cyclic phenylselenoethers in high yields and under extremely mild conditions.
