title: Chiral seleno-amines from indium selenolates. A straightforward synthesis of selenocysteine derivatives.
abstract: A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of chiral beta-seleno-amines derivatives from a one-pot indium(I) iodide-mediated aziridine ring opening with diorganoyl diselenides has been developed. As an application, the synthesis of selenocysteine and selenotreonine derivatives has been accomplished.
