Abstract
Treatment of the di-2-[(1 S)-1-(methylthio)ethyl]phenyl diselenide or of the di-2-methoxy-6-[(1 S)-1-methylthio)ethyl]phenyl diselenide with bromine and silver triflate afforded the corresponding electrophilic selenylating triflates which were used in situ to promote the asymmetric selenocyclization of γ-alkenyl oximes and δ-phenyl-γ-alkenyl oximes. The course of these reactions and hence the structures of the cyclization products were dictated by the ( E)- or ( Z)-geometry of the starting oximes. The two types of cyclization products were either the cyclic nitrones or the 1,2-oxazines; in both cases the reactions proceeded with excellent yields, complete regioselectivity and good diastereoselectivity.
