Modes of Neighbouring Group Participation by the Methyl Selenyl Substituent in β-Methylselenylmethyl-substituted 1-Phenylethyl Carbenium Ions

Selenium substituents which are disposed β to an electron deficient centre, such as a carbocation p-orbital, or the π* orbital of an electron deficient p-system, interact in a stabilising way by a combination of C-Se hyperconjugation (σSe-C–π* interaction), and a through-space homoconjugative nSe–π*...
