Cyclic seleninate esters serve as catalysts for the rapid oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides, alkenes to epoxides, and enamines to α-hydroxyketones. Optimal conditions were found that minimize the overoxidation of the product sulfoxides to sulfones and the hydrolysis of epoxides to diols. In some examples such as styrene derivatives, oxidative cleavage was observed instead of epoxidation. The enamine oxidations proceed via the initial formation of dimeric 2,5-diamino-1,4-dioxane species, which were hydrolyzed in situ to the final products. The structure of one such dimer was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Resolutely dynamic hydrogenation: A highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic N,N-disubstituted α-aminocycloalkanones involving dynamic kinetic resolution in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst gives chiral α-aminocycloalkanols with excellent enantioselectivities and cis diastereoselectivities (see scheme). A synthesis of optically pure U-(-)-50488 based on this reaction is reported.

Various α-nitroepoxides are converted into corresponding 1,2-diketones via two different ways of ring opening viz. with Pd(O) and with DMSO/BF3*EtO2 (or ClSiMe3).In addition to this, a variety of nucleophiles are reacted with α-nitrocyclopentene oxide 6 and α-nitrocyclohexene oxide 7 to form the corresponding α-substituted ketones which are useful intermediates in organic synthesis.Two of the products so obtained viz. 32 and 33 are also transformed further into optically active thialactones 38 and 39 respectively via baker's yeast reduction followed by lactonisation.
