The reductive cross-coupling of 1,3-dioxolane with carbonyl compounds to yield α-hydroxy aldehyde derivatives was attained by the reduction of iodobenzene with a solution of SmI2 in 1,3-dioxolane-CH3CN-HMPA (20:2:1) in the presence of carbonyl compounds under extremely mild conditions.The process seems to involve 1,3-dioxolanyl radical intermediate.
