Abstract
The photolysis of methyl alpha-(phenylseleno)acetate (Ib) and related compounds in the presence of an alkene and CO leads to acyl selenides 2 via group transfer carbonylation. The mechanism of this three-compon ent coupling reaction involves the addition of a (methoxycarbonyl)meth yl radical to an alkene, the trapping of the produced alkyl free radic al by CO, and termination of the reaction by a phenylselenenyl group t ransfer from the starting material.
