New and efficient selenium reagents for stereoselective selenenylation reactions
Abstract
The simple substitution of an aryl proton by a methoxy substituent improves the selectivity of the stereoselective selenenylation reaction dramatically, leading to addition products with diastereomeric ratios up to 50:1 in the methoxyselenenylation reaction of styrene.
