The utilization of lanthanide metal salts and organolanthanide compounds in organic synthesis has been attracted considerable attention, however, there have been a limited number of studies on the synthetic reactions using divalent samarium compounds such as SmI2 and Cp*2Sm (thf) 2 as catalysts or catalyst precursors. We report here several synthetic reactions by the use of samarium complexes (II), namely SmI2 and Cp*2Sm (thf) 2, as catalysts : (i) coupling reaction of vinyl esters with aldehydes, (ii) acylation of alcohols and amines with vinyl esters, (iii) acylation of tertiary alcohols with vinyl esters in the presence of a catalytic amount of oxime ester, (iv) synthesis of 1, 3-diol monoesters by the trimerization of aldehydes, (v) aldol type condensation of imines, and (vi) one-pot synthesis of pyrroles by the reaction of amines, aldehydes, and nitroalkanes.
