Free radical allylations of α-seleno carbonyl compounds with tributyl-substituted 2,4-pentadienyltin, 2-methyl-2-propenyltin, 2-butenyltin, and 3-methyl-2-butenyltin, are described. Such successful C–C bond formations, in particular with the 2-butenyltin and the 3-methyl-2-butenyltin, are owing to the high reactivity of the α-carbon radical, generated from α-seleno carbonyl compounds, toward allylic tin compounds.
