A simple, rapid, preparation of reactive benzeneselenolate ion and its highly regioselective opening reaction with epoxides under microwave irradiation is described. The reaction of diphenyl diselenides with NaBH4/NaOH give phenylselenolate ion which reacts in turn with epoxypropoxyphenols to afford the substituted glycerol selenide ethers in good to excellent isolated yields.
