Some carbohydrate derived omega-bromo- and omega-iodo- alpha,beta-unsa
turated esters were reduced with SmI2 under a variety of conditions. T
he chemoselectivity varies dramatically with the choice of solvent sys
tem, the identity of halogen atom, the type of ester used, the geometr
y of the double bond, and the oxygenation pattern of the substrate. Th
e stereoselectivity of the SmI2 mediated reactions is also influenced
by the reaction parameters. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
