Synthesis of 1,3-diketones by reaction of α-haloketones with acyl cynides promoted by samarium diiodide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087289

α-Haloketones reacted with acyl cyanides to form 1,3-diketones in the presence of samarium diiodide. The reaction was assumed to proceed via a mechanism involving samarium enolates in situ from α-haloketones.
