Enantioselective transformations of configurationally labile α-phenylseleno-alkyllithium compounds

Abstract
The diastereoisomeric complexes 3 between α-phenylseleno-alkyllithium compounds 1 and a chiral diamine 2 are trapped by aldehydes more rapidly than the complexes equilibrate, such that the e.e. of the adducts 4, 5 reflects the diastereoisomer ratio of the complexes 3.
