Abstract

Samarium (II) iodide-mediated intermolecular coupling reactions of N, N-dibenzylenamides (1a-d) with carbonyl compounds (2a-i) produced the corresponding N, N-dibenzyl-γ- hydroxyamides (3a-i) in moderate to good yields. Attempts to remove the two benzyl groups of 3a using hydrogenolysis and Birch reduction were unsuccessful. On the other hand, the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 3a produced 10 in 61% yield, and dedibenzylation ...
