Electron transfer reduction of unactivated esters using SmI 2-H 2O

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The reduction of unactivated esters using samarium diiodide is reported for the first time. The optimised protocol allows for the reduction of primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl esters in excellent yields and is competitive with reductions mediated by metal hydrides and alkali metals. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
