SmI2-promoted cross coupling reaction of N-2-bromoethylphthalimide and carbonyl compounds: Synthesis of α-aryl-α′-hydroxy ketones
In this paper, we have disclosed the SmI2-mediated carbonyl-imide reductive cross coupling between N-2-bromoethylphthalimide and different aldehydes and ketones in the presence of anhydrous catalytic NiI2. This methodology provided a
Samarium(II)-mediated reaction of allylic phosphate esters with carbonyl compounds: A new method for "Umpolung" of allylic phosphates
Allylic phosphates allylate ketones and aldehydes in the presence of samarium(II) iodide.The coupling proceeds with the preservation of the olefin geometry ever, regio- and stereoselectivity are not high.
