Unexpected formation of 1,3-diselenetanes from the reaction of camphor enolate with selenium

Abstract
The reaction of camphor enolate with selenium in THF affords mainly the corresponding diselenide, whereas a mixture of two isomeric 1,3-diselenetanes–one of which is characterized by X-ray crystallography–is produced in the presence of methyl iodide.
