Simple enantiomeric excess determination of amines using chiral selones: unusual N–H⋯Se bonding detected by HMQC1H/77Se NMR spectroscopy

Abstract
One-pot coupling of a chiral selone derivatizing agent to a series of chiral and racemic amines mediated with triphosgene gives adducts in yields ranging from 80–99%; 77Se NMR spectroscopy evaluation of the diastereoisomeric adduct conveniently allows the determination of the enantiomeric excesses of the parent chiral amines.
