Sequenced Reactions with Samarium(II) Iodide. Sequential Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution/Ketyl Olefin Coupling Reactions for the Preparation of Oxygen Heterocycles.
Samarium(II) iodide has been employed to promote a sequential intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution/intramolecular ketyl olefin coupling cyclization sequence to provide bicyclic, tricyclic, and spiro-fused oxygen heterocycles in excellent yield and with high diastereoselectivity.
