Reduction of various ketones to their corresponding alcohols is shown to be instantaneous, i.e. completed in less than 10 s, by samarium diiodide (2.5 equiv.) in the presence of water (6.25 equiv.) and an amine (5 equiv.) in THF. The rates of reduction of ketones in this mixture exceed by far the ra
Conjugated double and triple bonds are reduced into alkenes using non-hazardous SmI 2 /H 2 O/amine mixtures as reducing agents in THF. Isolated alkenes are not reduced during these reductions. All the reactions studied are quantitative and are completed in less than five minutes.
