Samarium metal has been used for the reductive dimerization of aromatic ketones in the presence of additives; the most probable mechanism has been advanced to explain the diastereoselectivity of this dimerization reaction.

A new method for generation of the samarium (II) species by the reaction of samarium metal with diethylaluminium iodide (Et2AlI) under mild conditions has been developed. Divalent samarium species generated in situ from a Sm/Et2AlI system caused the reductive coupling of aromatic ketones with moderate stereoselectivity to afford corresponding dl-vic-diols in moderate yields.
