Abstract
The binary reagent PhSeCl-ZnCl2 was found to be powerful for the stere ocontrolled conversion of highly electrophilic olefins, such as maleat e and fumarate esters, into the corresponding chloro phenylseleno deri vatives in very high yields. Other olefins, such as methyl acrylate an d methyl vinyl ketone, react virtually instantaneously.
