Abstract
Selenium-based methods have developed rapidly over the past few years and certain features of chiral selenium-containing compounds make these reagents particularly valuable for efficient stereoselective reactions. Recent advances in stereoselective transformations involving one-pot selenenylation-deselenylation sequences, which occur using only catalytic amounts of the optically active diselenides in the synthesis of valuable building blocks will be summarized. Additionally, recent results of catalytic reactions using chiral selenides and diselenides such as the enantioselective copper catalyzed conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to enones, diorganozinc addition to aldehydes, palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation, among other topics will also be addressed.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
