esters and lactones have long been thought to lie outside the reducing range of SmI(2), activation of the lanthanide reagent by H(2)O allows some of these substrates to be manipulated in an unprecedented fashion. For example, the SmI(2)-H(2)O reducing system shows complete selectivity for the reduction of 6-membered lactones over other classes of lactones and esters. The kinetics of reduction has been
