Reaction of polystyrene-supported lithium selenide with 3-acetoxy-2-methylene-alkanoates afforded the corresponding allyl selenide resins and subsequent cleavage from the polymer by treating with methyl iodide to furnish (Z)-allyl iodides in good yields and high purities. The polymeric selenium reagent can be regenerated and reused. So it is a environmentally benign reagent.
