The asymmetric cyclization of 1-hydroxyoct-7-en-4-one, promoted by camphorselenenyl tetrafluoroborate, generated from camphor diselenide and silver tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane at room temperature, afforded a mixture of two diastereoisomeric E-and two diastereoisomeric Z-2-[(camphorseleno) methyl]-1, 6-dioxaspiro [4.4] nonanes. These were separated by medium pressure liquid chromatography and then deselenenylated ...
