Cyclodimerization of α, β-unsaturated ketones promoted by samarium diiodide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087361

Samarium (II) iodide has been successfully utilized as a strong one- electron transfer reducing agent for the cyclodimerization of α, β- unsaturated ketones. The absence of any alcohol as proton source is essential. The reaction is regioselective over the
