Oxidation of alkyl phenyl selenides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in methanol at room temperature affords the corresponding alkyl methyl ethers almost quantitatively, the reaction being accompanied by phenyl migration and ring-contraction respectively when applied to selenides having a phenyl group vicinal to the phenylselenium moiety and to some methoxyselenation products of cyclic olefins.
