Abstract

A fast and efficient method for intramolecular heterocyclization of (Z)- and (E)-hex-4-en-1-ols was developed. The method does not cause side reactions of the substrates and provides the cyclic phenylselenoethers in high yields after only few minutes. A catalytic amount of SnCl2 increased the yield, but in the presence of an equimolar amount of SnCl2, formation of corresponding cyclic ethers were almost quantitative and reaction occurred instantaneously under extremely mild experimental conditions.
