Abstract
Asymmetric arene-alkene cyclization reactions mediated by a chiral ele ctrophilic organoselenium reagent afforded substituted carbocyclic der ivatives with high diastereoselectivities. It was also found that beta -methoxyselenides are good precursors of seleniranium ions when treate d with strong acids. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve d.
