Abstract

Lanthanoid reagents have been extensively utilized in organic synthesis because of their unique properties. 1 For example, the strong reducing ability of low-valent lanthanoids has provided a facile reduction of many functional groups and a convenient method for reductive carbon-carbon bond formation. 2 Oxophilicity and high coordination numbers of trivalent lanthanoids have enabled them to act as new Lewis acids. 3 However, these properties ...
