SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE SELENOXIDE

Abstract
Fractional recrystallization of diastereomeric 2,4,6-triisopropylpheny1 4′-(l-menthyloxycarbonyl)phenyl selenoxide gave optically pure (−)-selenoxide. Transesterification of this diastereomerically pure (−)-selenoxide with methanol gave enantiomeric (−)-2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl 4-′-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl selenoxide in 88.1% optical purity.
