Abstract

Michael addition is one of the classical organic reactions, which have played a great role in organic synthesis.1 The wide utility of SmI2 as reducing and coupling agent to effect carbon–carbon bond formation as well as functional group reduction has been explored.2 However, compared with the application of samarium(II) species in organic synthesis, there are only limited reports on the application of samarium(III) species in organic synthesis.3 Recently, the reports of ...
