SmI2 could be readily prepared in tetrahydropyran (THP) from samarium and 1,2-diiodoethane.Reducing properties were studied, showing marked differences compared to the classical SmI2/THF system.

Coupling reactions of acid chlorides are mediated by SmI2 and SmCp2, leading to α-ketols 3.Condensation reactions of acid chlorides on aldehydes similarly product α-ketols 5; with ketones, best results are obtained with use of SmI2.Reactivities of SmI2 and SmCp2 are compared and mechanisms of the reactions discussed.Formation of an acylsamarium species is shown.
