Abstract
Chiral organoselenium compounds can be attained from three types of asymmetric synthesis. Chiral substratecontrolled methods, chiral auxiliary-controlled methods, and chiral catalyst-controlled methods toward optically active organoselenium derivatives were illustrated. The strategy and classification of methods underlying all asymmetric synthesis therefore involve enantiomerically pure compounds to influence the stereochemical outcome of the reactions. In this review, the advances in asymmetric synthesis of some important classes of chiral organoselenium compounds were described.

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
