New Selenium Electrophiles and Their Reactivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Selenium and Tellurium Chemistry

Abstract

In this chapter research concerning the influence of chiral couteranions on electrophilic selenium species is presented. Firstly, general aspects on the reactivity dependent on the solvent and the counterion will be discussed. Secondly, some examples for the concept of “Asymmetric Counteranion Directed Catalysis” (ACDC) will be given showing the successful manipulation of reactions using cationic intermediates with anionic counterions. The chapter concludes by highlighting the results of our current research in combining typical selenenylation reactions and the ACDC concept.
