In the presence of aluminum chloride benzeneseleninyl chloride was found to be an excellent vinylic chlorinating reagent of olefins under mild conditions. However, such olefins as styrene, trans-stilbene, and trans-1-phenylpropene afforded dichloro adducts under similar conditions. A plausible reaction mechanism involving positive chlorine intermediate is proposed.
