Since its introduction to organic synthesis in 1977 by Kagan, 1, 2 samarium (II) iodide (SmI2,
Kagan's reagent) has gained the status of one of the most versatile single-electron transfer …

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

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

In pursuit of the “ideal synthesis”, the concept of efficiency is not limited simply to high yields
but is, in fact, multifaceted. 1 Among many things, the most efficient organic reactions …

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 …

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 …

Since its introduction as a reagent for organic synthesis by Kagan in 1977, 1, 2 samarium (II)
iodide (SmI2) has been widely embraced by the synthetic chemical community. Previous …

Reactions proceeding through open‐shell, single‐electron pathways offer attractive
alternative outcomes to those proceeding through closed‐shell, two‐electron mechanisms …

The archetypal single electron transfer reductant, samarium (II) diiodide (SmI2, Kagan's
reagent), remains one of the most important reducing agents and mediators of radical …

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 …
