Application: | Samarium(II) iodide solution (SmI2) can be used as a reagent in the synthesis of: • Benzannulated pyrrolizidines and indolizidines by SmI2-induced cyclizations of indole derivatives. • Chiral 4-substituted 2-oxazolidinones and 5,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones through asymmetric Reformatsky type reaction. • γ-Aminoalkyl substituted γ-butyrolactones via ketyl-alkene coupling reaction. It can also be used in: • Reduction of conjugated double and triple bonds into alkenes using SmI2/H2O/amine mixtures. • Conversion of β-hydroxyketones into 1,3-diols by SmI2/H2O/Et3N. • Selective reduction of 6-membered lactones to the corresponding diols/triols using SmI2-H2O reagent system. SmI2 is an effective single-electron reducing agent for the promotion of ketone-olefin, ketyl aryl cyclizations, and pinacol coupling reactions under mild conditions. Often both intramolecular and intermolecular couplings proceed in a highly stereoselective fashion. It is also used in the synthesis of new heteroleptic samarium aryloxide/cyclopentadieni |
