(Alkoxycarbonyl)ketene dithioacetals are cleanly reduced by SmI2 to pr
ovide a new and efficient method for the stereoselective generation of
the corresponding novel highly functionalized vinylsamarium species w
hich react with a proton, allyl bromide, and aldehydes to give the cor
responding reduction products, allylation products, and beta-thiobuten
olides, respectively.
