Abstract
SmI2 is a versatile reagent in single electron transfer-mediated reductive transformations. Photoexcitation of SmI2 generates a reactive excited state capable of transferring an electron to substrates that are recalcitrant towards accepting electrons. Synthetic results unequivocally indicate light as a green and sustainable promoter of SmI2-mediated chemistry, with the potential to replace the suspected carcinogen hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA). Rate constants of photoinduced electron transfer from SmI2 are in the range of 107–109 M−1 s−1, which are an order of magnitude higher in comparison with the ground state process. Recent advancement in EuII- and CeIII-based photo-redox catalysis rejuvenated the area of photo-catalyzed reactions of low-valent lanthanides. This review article aims to illustrate the role of photoexcitation on SmI2-mediated reductive transformations.
