With SmI3 as the Lewis acid and catalyzed by CuI in DMF, α-haloketones were transformed unexpectedly into α-hydroxy-1,4-diketones in good to moderate yields. The mechanism was probed and a plausible reaction pathway was proposed. DMF was assumed to play a dual role both as a hydroxyl source and as a solvent.

DMF中被CuI催化,α-卤代酯意外地转化为α-羟基-1,4-二酮,产率中等至中等。探讨了该机制,并提出了合理的反应途径。假定
DMF既起着羟基源的作用又起着溶剂的双重作用。
