Role of temperature in [3+2]-cycloaddition of isoselenocyanates with oxiranes using BF3·Et2O†
Abstract
The [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction of isoselenocyanates with oxiranes using BF3·Et2O is temperature dependent affording generally either substituted 2-imino-1,3-oxaselenolanes (−5 °C) or 1,3-oxazolidinones (40 °C) in short reaction times with high yields.
