97. Addition of PhSeH to Aba residues in acyclic peptides also gives the like diastereomer selectively. For example reactions of Val-(Z)-Aba-Hpp-Hmp derivatives with PhSeH/BuLi followed by oxidation gave the corresponding (E)-isomers with ca. 5:1 diastereoselectivity (Ward, D. E.; Vázquez, A. Unpublished results).
