A mixture of samarium(II) iodide and samarium can induce a coupling reaction of three molecules of alkanoyl halide to give trialkylcarbinols of 2-hydroxy-1,3-diones. When aliphatic, unbranched alkanoyl chlorides are used, this new coupling reaction provides trimeric products as the main reaction products. Tetrahydropyran (THP) proved superior as the solvent because no ring-opening and subsequent reaction with the alkanoyl halides was observed under the reaction conditions, unlike when THF was used.
