Zusammenfassung:The use of samarium/mercury amalgam in conjunction with diiodomethane or chloroiodomethane to generate samarium carbenoids for the efficient cyclopropanation of allylic alcohols is discussed. These hydroxyl-directed cyclopropanations occur under mild conditions and allow a wide range of substitution about both the olefin and the carbinol carbon in allylic alcohol substrates. High yields and high diastereoselectivities are observed for many substrates.
