Enantioselective synthesis of heterocyclic compounds mediated by organoselenium reagents

Abstract

The syntheses of several types of enantiopure or enantiomerically enriched heterocyclic compounds by electrophilic additions, nucleophilic substitutions and radical additions ring closure reactions, promoted by chiral non racemic as well as by achiral organoselenium reagents, are presented and discussed. ©ARKAT.
