The reaction of 3,4-dihydropyran (1) with benzeneselanyl chloride in methylene chloride at 25°C under kinetic control conditions gives a mixture of stereoisomeric products of 1,2-addition, namely, cis-and trans-2-chloro-3-phenylselanyltetrahydropyrans [1].In the present work, we found that the reactions of unsaturated ether 1with 2-pyridineselanyl chloride (2) proceed in fundamentally different directions. Thus, the reaction of unsaturated ether 1 with selanyl chloride 2 in methylene chloride at 20°C leads to heterocyclization product 4 in 95% yield, while the reaction of 1 with selenium electrophile 3 under the same conditions gives unsaturated selenide 5 in 93% yield. We have found conditions, under which the reaction of 1 and 3 also leads to a heterocyclization product. The reaction proceeds in nitromethane in the presence of an equimolar amount of lithium perchlorate at 20°C to give tricyclic perchlorate 6 in 86% yield.1 H NMR spectroscopy indicates that these reactions proceed regio-and stereospecifically.
