Abstract

A facile, zinc/aluminum(III) chloride promoted highly regioselective one-pot procedure has been developed for the preparation of β-hydroxy selenides from various styrenes and diselenides by Se-Se bond cleavage using the Zn/AlCl3 system in aqueous acetonitrile­ and in the presence of oxygen.

Key words

β-hydroxy selenides - diselenides - styrenes - regioselective - Zn/AlCl3 system
