Polymer-bound phenylselenenylmethyl sulfone as an efficient reagent for the solid-phase synthesis of (E)-vinyl phenyl selenides

A facile method has been developed for the solid-phase organic synthesis of (E)-vinyl phenyl selenides from polymer-supported phenylselenenylmethyl sulfone. The advantages of this method include straightforward, convenient and odorless procedures, high product yields, and good stability of this new polymeric reagent.
