Abstract

An enantioselective selenolactonization of olefinic acids has been developed using (DHQD)2PHAL as the catalyst. Structurally simple and commercially available N-phenylselenophthalimide was used as the electrophilic selenium reagent. The corresponding selenolactones could be obtained with up to 96% ee.
