Samarium (ii) iodide is a one‐electron transfer reagent that has become highly appreciated
as a mild and selective reducing agent in recent years. It has been found experimentally that …

Reducing agents (along with complementary oxidants) constitute the most fundamental
class of reagents available to synthetic chemists for the conversion of organic substrates to …

Samarium (II) iodide (SmI2) is one of the most important reducing agents in organic
synthesis. Synthetic chemistry promoted by SmI2 depends on the efficient and reliable …

Samarium diiodide (SmI2) is one of the most widely used single-electron reductants
available to organic chemists because it is effective in reducing and coupling a wide range …

This account describes work, performed by my research group during the past decade,
designed to understand the mechanistic roles of cosolvents and additives in reductions …

Conspectus SmI2 was introduced to organic chemistry as a single electron transfer agent in
1977. After ca. 15 years of latency, the scientific community has realized the high potential of …

Samarium diiodide (SmI2) is one of the most important reductive electron transfer reagents
available in the laboratory. Key to the popularity of SmI2 is the ability of additives and co …

The influence of additives on the reducing power and reactivity of samarium (II) iodide is
presented. Different cosolvents (ligands) employed in SmI2 mediated reactions have …

Recently, samarium (II) iodide reductants have emerged as powerful single electron donors
for the highly chemoselective reduction of common functional groups. Complete control of …

Abstract Introduced by Henri Kagan more than three decades ago, samarium diiodide
(SmI2) has found increasing application in chemical synthesis. This single‐electron …
