First introduced in organic synthesis by Kagan and coworkers in the late 1970s, samarium diiodide (SmI2) has rapidly become a well-established reagent in preparative organic chemistry. This powerful and versatile one-electron transfer reductant is commercially available, but can also be conveniently prepared from samarium and diiodoethane or diiodomethane as a solution in THF. Its properties and reactivity can further be modified by addition of catalysts and by solvent additives. Samarium diiodide serves as a mild and selective reagent promoting a wide range of synthetically important transformations, such as reductions and reductive coupling reactions.
