amino acids are valuable targets but methods for the stereoselective α-selenation of simple amino acid precursors are rare. We herein report the enantioselective electrophilic α-selenation of azlactones (masked α-amino acidderivatives) and isoxazolidin-5-ones (masked β-amino acids) using Cinchona alkaloids as easily accessible organocatalysts. A variety of differently substituted derivatives was accessed

Abstract A simple and practical approach to oxindole derivatives via organoselenium-induced radical cyclizations of N-arylacrylamides has been developed. This method provides a convenient access to a variety of selenium-containing oxindoles in good to excellent yields under relatively mild reaction conditions. As one of its notable features, the radical process allows for the direct formation of a
