Chiral diselenides are easily accessible and can be used for various asymmetric reactions. Oxy‐ and aminoselenenylations with selenium electrophiles generated from the diselenides are used to build new asymmetric centers in the addition products. Improvements in the synthesis of chiral diselenides are described as well as the generation of addition products suitable for natural product synthesis. Oxyselenenylation‐elimination sequences can be performed with catalytic amounts of chiral diselenides. In addition, such compounds can be used as ligands in other metal‐catalyzed asymmetric reactions.
