Asymmetric Synthesis with Organo-Selenium Compounds: A Facile Entry to Optically Active 4-Substituted 2-Cyclohexenones by Asymmetric Selenenylation of Ketones with Chiral Selenenamides

A convenient route to optically active 4-methyl- and 4-t-butyl-2-cyclohexenone using the chiral areneselenenamides, readily generated in situ, to form the 2-areneselenenyl ketones which are subsequently subjected to oxidative selenoxide elimination, is de
