Efficient chiral discrimination by 77Se NMR.
[reaction: see text] Several (77)Se NMR experiments were performed by titrating a sample of selenides with the chiral shift reagent methylbenzylamine (MBA), followed by acquisition of (77)Se NMR spectra. Eventually, we observed the appearance of two anisochronous resonances, with a relatively large separation, from 37 to 56 Hz, corresponding to the formation of the diastereomeric complexes. This methodology avoids derivatization processes, and the studied compound can be easily recovered from the NMR tube.
