Asymmetric Induction in the Alkylation of Enolate Anion with the Optically Active Selenium Ions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.2117

Alkylation of the enolate anion of 2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone with optically active dialkylphenyl selenonium salt resulted in the formation of optically active C-alkylated products.Absolute configuration of the optically active selenonium ion was estimated on tthe basis of the asymmetriic alkylation and CD spectra.
