✦ Synopsis


Trimethyl 3-(phenylseleno)orthopropionate may be utilized as a synthon for the preparation of either 2-substituted acrylates or a-methylene-Y-butyrolactones via Claisen ortho ester rearrangement with allylic alcohols followed by oxidative-elimination of PhSeOH. The 2-substituted acrylate moiety is present in a variety of interesting compounds.

Recently, in connection with projects directed toward the synthesis of a number of natural
