Treatment of alpha-alkyl and alpha,alpha-dialkyl homoallylic amines I with PhSeX (X = Cl, Br, 1), in CH3CN containing sodium carbonate produced mixtures of azetidines 2 and pyrrolidines 3. The cyclization also occurred in the absence of Na2CO3, and the corresponding azetidinium and pyrrolidinium salts 2(HX) and 3(HX) were formed in CDCl3 or CH3CN. The crude reaction mixtures were analysed by Se-77 NMR. Each product - 2, 3, 2(HX), and 3(HX) - was characterized by its 77 Se chemical shift, and the product ratios were determined for each reaction. The ratios of azetidine 2 to pyrrolidine 3 increased not only according to the steric hindrance around the alpha-carbon, but also with the nature of the counterion X- (PhSeCl < PhSeBr < PhSeI). Use of PhSeI and amines 1g to 1k (R-1, R-2, not equalH), produced only the azetidinium. salts 2(HI), allowing the isolation of the corresponding azetidines 2, albeit in poor yield. Some reactions were monitored by Se-77 NMR at the beginning of the addition-cyclization process. No intermediates were observed when PhSeI was used, but the thermodynamic addition products 5(Br), 5(HBr), and some dibromose-lenuranes 8 were detected.
