<strong>Allyl</strong> phenyl selenides are valuable precursors <strong>of</strong><br />
allyllithiums and <strong>of</strong> metalated allyl phenyl selenides.<br />
Similar to sulfur-stabilized analogues, anions <strong>of</strong> allyl<br />
selenides undergo reversible 1,3-shifts. <strong>Allyl</strong> selenoxides<br />
also show [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements. In<br />
general <strong>the</strong> chemical behavior <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se compounds<br />
is similar to <strong>the</strong>ir sulfur analogues.<br />
Thus, allyl phenyl selenide anion 250 reacts with<br />
alkyl halides at <strong>the</strong> R-position to give 251, whereas<br />
it is attacked at <strong>the</strong> γ-terminus by carbonyl com-<br />

pounds forming 252. 154 However, a reversed regioselectivity<br />
is observed with triethylaluminum “ate”<br />
complexes, i.e., R-adducts 253 (predominantly anti)<br />
are produced with carbonyl compounds (Scheme<br />
45). 42 Upon transmetalation <strong>of</strong> 250 with magnesium<br />
compounds <strong>the</strong> regioselectivity is also converted to<br />
R. 41 The regioselectivity also depends on <strong>the</strong> nature<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electrophile. While TMSCl gives predominantly<br />
(82:18) R-attack on allyl selenide anions, PhSiMe2Cl<br />
forms a mixture <strong>of</strong> regioisomers R:γ ) 41:59. 155<br />
Increased R-selectivity is achieved with substituents<br />
at <strong>the</strong> γ-position.<br />
Similar to allyl sulfides, (phenylseleno)allyllithium<br />
250 undergoes a HMPA mediated conjugate 1,4-Raddition<br />
to 2-cyclopentenone. Without HMPA present,<br />
R- 254 and γ-1,2-addition 255 are observed toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
with a little R- 256 and γ-1,4-addition 257 (Scheme<br />
45). 90<br />
As treatment <strong>of</strong> 247 with n BuLi or methyllithium<br />
leads to rapid transmetalation furnishing <strong>the</strong> allyllithium<br />
248 and alkyl phenyl selenides 249, allyl<br />
selenides (cf. 247) are metalated with LDA or lithium<br />
2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LTMP) (Scheme 45). 156<br />

We discuss here acylic allylamines, <strong>the</strong>ir functionalized<br />
derivatives (including phosphoramides, Nnitrosoallylamines,<br />
nitropropenes, allylimines, allylamides,<br />
and ureas) and analogous cyclic amines (e.g.,<br />
pyrrolidine) toge<strong>the</strong>r with allyl derivatives <strong>of</strong> heterocycles<br />
(e.g., benzotriazole, carbazole).
