A one-pot synthesis of linear and cyclic β-alkoxyselenides is developed through the iodine-mediated three-component reaction of elemental selenium with alkenes (dienes) and alcohols. Selenylation of 1,5-hexadiene gives 2,5-di(methoxymethyl)tetrahydroselenophene and 2-methoxy-6-(methoxymethyl)tetrahydro-2<i>H</i>-selenopyran via the 5<i>-exo-trig</i> and 6-<i>endo-trig</i> cyclization. 1,7-Octadiene affords only linear 1:2 adduct with two terminal double bonds. 1,5-Cyclooctadiene results in one d ...[more]
