Grimes possessing gamma-, delta or omega -alkenyl substituents are cyclised
by phenylselenyl bromide, or by phenylselenyl chloride and an appropriate
silver salt to the corresponding cyclic nitrones; the seleno nitrones under
go facially specific cycloaddition reactions with N-methylmaleimide; bis(al
k-gamma,delta -enyl) ketones undergo regiospecific cyclisation and stereosp
ecific intramolecular cycloaddition to furnish spirocyclic products. (C) 20
