31. Due to the high toxicity and terrible smell of selenophenol, we wished to avoid to use this substance and looked for a convenient alternative for our purpose. After several trials, we finally succeeded in finding a useful and safer method, in which lithium selenophenolate was generated by treatment of diphenyldiselenide with an equimolar amount of methyllithium in ether at the room temperature (see Experimental Section). Although half of the organoselenium source is wasted in forming methyl phenyl selenide, the most advantageous point of the method is that the generation of selenolate is achieved in one step from commercially available diphenyldiselenide, and this also minimizes unavoidable spread of the toxic selenium reagent during the experimental work.

39. Reversed order of the addition, i.e., the aldehyde first then the acrylate, sometimes gave better yields of the tandem adducts, but the stereoselectivity was almost identical.
