“…Recently, our studies have focused on the synthesis and stereochemistry of optically active selenium and tellurium compounds . Since selenium and tellurium are homologous to sulfur, many optically active sulfur compounds have been synthesized, , some of which have also been used for asymmetric synthesis. , However, until recently, there have been few studies on optically active selenium and tellurium compounds. − We have previously reported the synthesis and stereochemistry of optically active tricoordinated tetravalent selenium and tellurium compounds, such as selenoxides, , selenonium ylides, selenonium salts, telluronium ylides, telluronium salts, and telluroxides . However, while selenonium imides are also tricoordinated tetravalent selenium compounds, there have been few reports on optically active selenonium imides.…”
