A sulfur-containing diselenide as an efficient chiral reagent in asymmetric selenocyclization reactions
摘要:
Treatment of the di-2-[(IS)-1-(methylthio)ethyl]phenyl diselenide with bromine and silver triflate afforded the corresponding selenyl triflate which was used in situ as a strongly electrophilic selenium reagent to effect the asymmetric synthesis of oxygen- or nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Cyclic ethers, lactones, lactams or N-protected pyrrolidines have been prepared in good yield with complete regioselectivity and high diastereoselectivity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
