Abstract
Reaction of chromium tricarbonyl complexed aryl aldehydes and ketones with samarium(Il) iodide and methyl acrylate results in formation of c yclic lactones as single diastereomers. Complete diastereoselectivity is demonstrated with aldehydes and ketones alpha or beta to the aromat ic ring with radical coupling directed anti to the chromium tricarbony l moiety.
