A catalytic asymmetric bromocyclization of trisubstituted olefinic amides that uses a C2-symmetric mannitol-derived cyclic selenium catalyst and a stoichiometric amount of N-bromophthalimide is reported. The resulting enantioenriched pyrrolidine products, which contain two stereogenic centers, can undergo rearrangement to yield 2,3-disubstituted piperidines with excellent diastereoselectivity and enantiospecificity.

1- and 2-phenylbicyclohex-2-enes-5-d undergo thermal rearrangement to give products, differing only in the location of the deuterium, in ratio of about 9:1, but with identical activation enthalphies.Similarly, opticallly active trans-2-methyl-1-(trans-2-phenylethenyl)cyclopropane is found to rearrange to enantiomeric methylphenylcyclopentenes that are formed in a 5.9:1 ratio but with virtually identicyl activation enthalphies.Barring repeated coincidence, these results do not seem to be explicable within the framework of statistical theories of unimolecular kinetics such as RRKM theory, transition state theory, and variational transition state theory.The possible influence of dynamic effects in these and other unimolecular reactions is discussed.
