title: Photoinduced metalation of nonactivated C-Cl bonds with samarium diiodide: synthesis of alkenes with high (Z)-selectivity through beta-elimination reactions.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The photoinduced metalation of nonactivated C-Cl bonds of O-acetyl chlorohydrins is promoted by samarium diiodide. As a result of this, beta-elimination of O-acetyl chlorohydrins is achieved, affording the corresponding (Z)-alkenes with total or high stereoselectivity.
