Surprisingly, under acidic conditions, the hydroxyselenylation pathway is blocked, and products of a tethered silanoxyselenylation are exclusive. While this latter reaction interesting from a mechanistic standpoint, the products are unfortunately unstable to chromatography on silica gel and alumina. Given the known versatility of organoselenium compounds, we expect the hydroxyselenylation of allylic silanols to be employed in the pursuit of complex, polyfunctional targets of value.
