Abstract

Using chiral nonracemic electrophilic-organoselenium-reagents-asymmetric alkoxy-, hydroxy-, azido- and amido-selenenylation of alkenes were effected with high diastereoselectivity. These reagents have also been employed in catalytic amounts to promote one-pot selenenylation-deselenenylation processes. The asymmetric cyclization of properly substituted alkenes diastereoselectively afforded lactons, tetrahydrofurans oxazolines, thiazolines, pyrrolidines, isoxazolidines, 1,2-oxazines, and cyclic nitrones. Enantiopure dioxane, morpholine, tetrahydrofuran, oxazolidin-2-one and aziridine derivatives were prepared from alkenes, PhSeX, and optically active nucleophiles or substrates.
