Typical experimental procedure: The selenoglycoside ( 3a-f, 1 equiv.) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.7 equiv.) were dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane and the solution cooled to 0°C. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (5.5 M solution in decane, 2.3 equiv.) was added drop-wise over a period of 5 min, and then titanium(IV) isopropoxide (1.0 equiv.) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of argon for 2 h, after which time TLC (petrol:ethyl acetate, 4:1) indicated complete consumption of starting material. The yellow solution was concentrated in vacuo, and purified by flash column chromatography.
