R. Deziel et al., ASYMMETRIC SELENOMETHOXYLATION OF OLEFINS INVOLVING A CHIRAL C2 SYMMETRICAL ELECTROPHILIC ORGANOSELENIUM REAGENT, Journal of organic chemistry, 58(14), 1993, pp. 3619-3621
A new chiral C2 symmetrical organoselenium reagent has been synthesize
d; this compound, in the presence of methanol, reacts with high facial
selectivity with olefins to afford the anti selenomethoxylated adduct
s in very good yields.
