| Research Abstract |
Organoselenium compounds have been widely utilized as useful reagents in the field of organic synthesis. However, aliphatic selenium compounds, which do not have a direct chemical bond between the selenium atom and a benzene ring, are generally unstable and hence have not yet been studied extensively. In this study, we succeeded in the synthesis of stable aliphatic selenium compounds by applying a sugar-like cyclic or amino acid skeleton. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the synthesized compounds are usable as enzymatic models, antioxidants, asymmetric catalysts, and folding reagents of proteins in various research fields, such as chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry.
