The reaction of alkenylthiazolines with benzeneselenenyl bromide in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile and water saturated with sodium bicarbonate gives lactams bearing both mercaptoethyl and phenylselenenyl groups in moderate to good yields. Intramolecular amidoselenation and subsequent hydrolysis will be involved.
