Intramolecular and intermolecular ketone–ester reductivecouplingreactionspromoted by SmI2 have been studied. Substituted 2-hydroxy-5-ethoxycarbonylcyclopentanones, 5-ethoxycarbonylcyclopentenones and α-ketols were prepared in moderate to good yields at room temperature or under reflux under neutral conditions.
corresponding unsymmetrical 1,2-diols in moderate to good yields. α-Hydroxy ketones were prepared by the lanthanum metal-assistedreaction of diaryl ketones with esters or nitriles, followed by hydrolysis with aq HCl. It is interesting to note that for the epoxides, the coupling reaction proceeded via the Meinwald rearrangement of epoxides to give the corresponding 1,2-diols.

Samarium(II) iodide, a strong one-electron transfer reducing reagent, has been successfully utilized for the intermolecular and intramolecular reductive coupling reactions of ketones with nitriles. α-Hydroxy ketones, monocyclic, fused bicyclic α-hydroxy ketones and monocyclic α-amino alcohols composed of a number of substitution patterns have been prepared in good yields at room temperature or reflux under neutral conditions. The procedure can avoid overreduction of the resulting of α-hydroxy ketones or α-amino alcohols. The crystal structures of monocyclic α-amino alcohols are reported.
The addition of arylstannanes to the carbon–heteroatom double bond in the presence of a catalytic amount of a cationic rhodium complex ([Rh(cod)(MeCN)2]BF4) was examined. The reactions of aldehydes, α-dicarbonyl compounds, and N-substituted aldimines with the arylstannanes gave corresponding alcohols, α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, and amines, respectively.

Three-component coupling of acylphosphonates and two carbonyl compounds leading to beta-hydroxyphosphonates has been achieved with low-valent samariums. Thus, acylphosphonates reacted with aldehydes in the presence of semicatalytic amounts of samarium metal or SmI2 to give acyloxy-phosphonates in good yields. The second coupling reaction of the acyloxyphosphonates with aldehydes or ketones promoted by SmI2 afforded beta-hydroxyphosphonates instead of olefins. Moreover, these two reactions could be carried out in one pot.
