Abstract
We report a new reductive fragmentation/aldol tandem reaction in a 1,4-diketone induced by samarium(II) iodide. Due to the particular stereoelectronic situation in the molecule, an alternative pathway was avoided despite the fact that it would have greatly reduced the strain in the tricyclic molecule.
