Abstract

Transformation of a 3-halo ester to cyclopropanols has been accomplished in excellent yields under mild conditions employing a coupled reagent of samarium (II) diiodide with organometallic reagents. 5-and 6-Halo esters were also transformed into cyclopentanols and cyclohexanols, respectively, in low to moderate yields. The reaction with a 4-halo ester gave 2, 2-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran as a major product that resulted from double ...
