High diastereoselectivity is attained in the carboselenenylation reaction of simple alkenes with aromatic compounds by using a C2-symmetric areneselenenyl triflate (see scheme). This asymmetric Friedel–Crafts-type reaction is a convenient procedure for the preparation of chiral hydrocarbons bearing an aryl moiety at the stereogenic carbon atom.
