In the presence of either visible light or HMPA, SmI2 reacts with some carbohydrate derived ω-iodoallylic alcohols, and their acetylated derivatives, to give vinylcyclopentanediol and vinylcyclopentanetriol derivatives. SmI2 mediated reduction of ω-iodoallylic alcohols is facilitated by irradiation with a Xe lamp or addition of HMPA.
