Abstrakt: The regioselectivity of the reductive opening of cyclopropylogous α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds using SmI 2in THF or THF-HMPA was studied and shown to depend strongly on the substrate. In some cases, a tandem cyclopropyl opening-deoxygenation reaction afforded the corresponding γ-keto alkenes in one step.
