Organocatalytic Asymmetric Electrophilic Tandem Selenylation Semipinacol Rearrangement of 1-(1-Arylvinyl)cyclobutanols

Chem. Commun., 2025, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC01919B, Communication Ren-Fei Cao, Zheng-Wei Wei, Shu-Kun Li, Tong-Mei Ding, Hua Ke, Zhi-Min Chen Chiral BINAM-derived sulfide and boron trifluoride etherate cocatalyzed enantioselective electrophilic selenylation/semipinacol rearrangement of 1-(1-arylvinyl)cyclobutanols was developed for the first time. Various selenium-containing cyclopentanones were obtained in moderate to excellent yields...
