Abstract

The number of optically active selenium or tellurium compounds isolated so far is limited, although chiral organoselenium and tellurium compounds are felt to be important key intermediates for asymmetric syntheses. Optically active selenium and tellurium compounds were isolated for the first time during the last two decades. In this chapter, recent developments in the synthesis and stereochemistry of optically active chalcogen compounds over the last 15 years are described, focusing mainly on chiral selenium and tellurium compounds.
