Abstract: | O‐Allyl‐Se‐phenylselenosalicylates, O‐allyl‐Se‐alkylselenosalicylates, and the O‐propargyl derivatives can generate free radicals under white light irradiation, and cyclization reactions are described that involve phenylseleno or alkylseleno group transfer. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
