Multicomponent Reactions of Allenes, Diaryl Diselenides, and Nucleophiles in the Presence of Iodosobenzene Diacetate: Direct Synthesis of 3-Functionalized-2-arylselenyl Substituted Allyl Derivatives.

A multicomponent reaction of allenes, diaryl diselenides, and nucleophiles in the presence of iodosobenzene diacetate has been developed, providing a novel method for the preparation of synthetically useful 3-functionalized-2-arylselenyl substituted allyl derivatives.
