Short synthetic procedures for the preparation of new chiral, non- racemic nitrogen-containing diselenides are described. Only 1 mol% of these diselenides can very efficiently catalyze the diethylzinc addition to benzaldehydes affording the secondary alcohols in high enantiomeric purities (up to 97% ee).
