Abstract
In the presence of NH4I as catalyst and m‐chloroperbenzoic acid as oxidant, the Se–Se bond cleavage of diselenides undergoes smoothly. The in situ generated reactive electrophilic Se species reacts with alkenes quickly, and a series of β‐hydroxy selenides are prepared in good yields. This new catalytic method for synthesis of β‐hydroxy selenides is a stereospecific anti addition, which occurs with a Markovnikov orientation.
