Nucleophilic acylation of esters by acid chlorides mediated by samarium diiodide: Formation and use of samarium enediolates
摘要:
Acid chlorides react with esters in the presence of samarium diiodide and catalytic amounts of NiI2 to afford samarium enediolates which can further react with electrophiles such as water or aldehydes to give respectively alpha-ketols or alpha-dihydroxyketones.
