Grimes possessing gamma-, delta or omega -alkenyl substituents are cyclised by phenylselenyl bromide, or by phenylselenyl chloride and an appropriate silver salt to the corresponding cyclic nitrones; the seleno nitrones undergo facially specific cycloaddition reactions with N-methylmaleimide; bis(alk-gamma,delta -enyl) ketones undergo regiospecific cyclisation and stereospecific intramolecular cycloaddition to furnish spirocyclic products.
