title: A PhSeCl-mediated allylic oxidation of prenyl moiety: a convenient method for the construction of 3-isopenten-2-ol unit.
abstract: A phenylselenenyl chloride (PhSeCl)-mediated allylic oxidation to give allylically rearranged alcohol has been developed. A possible mechanism for the present reaction is generation of allylic selenide from prenyl moiety via [1,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, followed by oxidation and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to afford 3-isopenten-2-ol.
