Abstract
(1R)-2-endo-(Dimethylamino)methyl-2-exo-methoxy-3-endo-camphorylselenenyl bromide and its 2-endo-(pyrrolidenyl)methyl analogue were prepared from (1R)-2-endo-acetamidomethyl-2-exo-hydroxy-3-endo-camphoryl diselenide. Both compounds showed an unusual lack of reactivity in electrophilic oxyselenenylation and cyclization reactions that are typical of other selenenyl bromides. X-ray crystallography indicated that both compounds have strong N - Se interactions, with N - Se interatomic distances of ca. 2.1 Å, which diminish the electrophilic character of the selenium atom.
