Abstract

Aromatic ketones

Electron transfer

Reductive dimerization

Samarium

Samarium metal has been used for the reductive dimerization of aromatic ketones in the presence of additives; the most probable mechanism has been advanced to explain the diastereoselectivity of this dimerization reaction.
