Abstract
Organocerium reagents, prepared in situ by the treatment of organolithium compounds with cerium (III) iodide, exhibit characteristic reactivities toward ketones; at–65° C, nucleophilic additions give the corresponding tertiary alcohols in excellent yields, while, at 0° C to ca. room temperature, reductive coupling and/or reduction of the ketones prevail.
