The photolysis of methyl alpha-(phenylseleno)acetate (1b) and related compounds in the presence of an alkene and CO leads to acyl selenides 2 via group transfer carbonylation. The mechanism of this three-component coupling reaction involves the addition of a (methoxycarbonyl)methyl radical to an alkene, the trapping of the produced alkyl free radical by CO, and termination of the reaction by a phenylselenenyl

The diethyl malonyl radical can be generated via the photolysis of diethyl (2-phenylseleno)propanedioate. This radical, in turn adds to olefins, and the radical chain process is propagated by phenyl selenide transfer, leading to products arising from formal addition of diethyl (2-phenylseleno)propanedioate.

Sunlamp photolysis of methyl or ethyl 2-(phenylseleno)propanedioate with a variety of alkenes and alkynes in benzene yielded addition products in good to excellent yields. The proposed mechanism involves a radical chain process in which addition of a malonate ester radical is followed by phenylseleno transfer. Monosubstituted alkenes,l,l-and l,2-disubstituted alkenes, terminal alkynes, and internal alkynes were shown to undergo this reaction. Addition to diallyl ether led to substituted tetrahydrofurans, characteristic of a process involving initial addition, followed by cyclization prior to phenylseleno transfer. Vinyl arenes, conjugated dienes, and unsaturated carbonyl compounds proved unreactive.
