title: A novel role of zeolite NaY in the thermal reaction of alkyl aryl selenoxides in its supercages.
abstract: Thermal reaction of alkyl aryl selenoxides in the presence of water or methanol in the supercage of zeolite NaY gave beta-hydroxy- or beta-methoxyalkyl aryl selenides, respectively, and NaY played a novel role to stabilize reactive ArSeOH and to separate an anion of -OH from a carbonium ion which was simultaneously present with the -OH in a supercage.
