Optically active diaryl diselenides carrying C-2 symmetrical chiral py
rrolidines are synthesized by the condensation between 2,2'-diselenobi
s(benzyl chloride) derivatives and chiral pyrrolidines and are applied
to methoxyselenenylation of trans-olefins. The observed diastereomeri
c excess (d.e.) is up to 60%.
