Aziridines and epoxides were reacted with diphenyl diselenide in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of (n-Bu)3P, respectively, giving β-amino- or β-hydroxy selenides in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. In the reactions the (n-Bu)3P might act as a reductant though it was a nucleophilic catalyst in other similar ring-opening reactions.
