Intramolecular amidoseleniation of N-alkenyl imidates to N-heterocycles

Abstract
The reactions of N-alkenyl imidates with benzeneselenenyl chloride and bromide in chloroform at ambient temperature afford pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives having a phenylseleno moiety in good to excellent yields under neutral conditions. The key step of this new reaction consists of an intramolecular carbon–nitrogen bond formation and a simultaneous carbon–oxygen bond fission.
