Abstract
Reduction of aroyl chlorides carried out in DMF with samarium metal has been studied. Samarium metal, which requires not any intended activation or pretreatment, was found to react with aroyl chloride in a controllable manner. Correspondingly, O‐aroylbenzoins, 1,2‐diarylethanones, or (Z)‐α,α′‐stilbenediol dibenzoates were afforded as the major products under controlled conditions.
