Abstract
Ultrasound (20 kHz) was used to prepare samarium(II) diiodide (SmI 2), samarium(II) dibromide (SmBr2), and samarium(II) triflate (SmOTf)2. The method described herein provides a straightforward and rapid approach to the synthesis of SmII compounds not accessible by other means. Of particular importance is the fact that this approach can be used to produce SmII-based reductants in a wide range of solvents including alcohols. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
