Connective (C–C) route to hindered epoxides and olefins from hindered ketones

Abstract
Hindered ketones have been transformed into hindered epoxides (5) and olefins (6) with the concomitant formation of new carbon–carbon bonds using β-hydroxyselenides as key intermediates; the unusual reactivity of such crowded molecules is reported.
