Treatment of the polyene selenyl ester 1 with Bu3SnH-AIBN leads to a concise synthesis of the diquinane 6 via a novel cyclisation involving a ketenyl radical intermediate. By contrast under the same radical initiating conditions the selenyl esters 2 and 10 produced cyclopentenone products, viz 9 and 11, and the allene substituted selenyl ester 16 led to the unusual cyclooctadienone 18.
