, p. 4990 - 4991 (1990)
Organoytterbium reagents, prepared by the addition of organolithiums or organomagnesiums to ytterbium(III) triflate, react in a highly diastereoselective fashion with a variety of chiral aldehydes and ketones.
Stereochemical Investigations of Samarium(II) Iodide-Promoted 5-Exo and 6-Exo Ketyl-Olefin Radical Cyclization Reactions

Samarium(II) iodide (SmI2)-promoted ketyl cyclizations of several substituted, unsaturated ketones, providing various cyclpentyl and cyclohexyl systems, have been investigated.The resulting experiments provide stereochemical insight into these reactions and in addition outline the synthetic potential of these 5-exo and 6-exo radical cyclization processes.
