Abstract
The samarium(II) iodide-mediated intermolecular Barbier-type reactions of n itriles and alkyl iodides have been investigated. In the presence of a cata lytic amount of nickel(II) iodide, the reaction proceeded smoothly to provi de the corresponding ketones. Amides also reacted to give ketones under the same Barbier-type conditions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re served.
