Four-membered ring [PhP(Se)(μ-Se)] (Woollins' reagent, WR) reacts with disodium alkenyl-diols followed by in situ ring-closure reaction with appropriate dibromoalkanes affording a series of unusual nine- to fifteen-membered organoselenophosphorus macrocycles bearing the O-P-Se-C-Se-P-O or O-P-Se-C-O-P-Se linkage.
