Abstract: A convenient method of synthesis of the optically active dialkyl diselenides from the pinane group is described. The 3-hydroxy and 3-alkoxy derivatives of bis(cis-myrtanyl) diselenide have been obtained. The influence of a structure of the resulting diselenides on the diastereomeric excess of the methoxyselenenylation reaction and the selenocyclization have been investigated.
