Aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6 dialdehydes with and without α-substituents, as well as derivatives of carbohydrate dialdehydes undergo a pinacol coupling reaction in the presence of SmI2 to give cis-diols as the preponderant products. When α-alkoxy groups are present, the diol has an orientation that is opposite to such groups.
