A new samarium diiodide‐promoted addition reaction of vinylsamarium reagents, derived from ( Z )‐ α ‐chloro‐ α , β ‐unsaturated phenones 1 , to both ketones (in THF) and aldehydes (in acetonitrile) led to ( Z )‐2‐(1‐hydroxyalkyl)‐2,3‐unsaturated ketones in good yield. These transformations took place with total or very high inversion of the stereochemistry of the CC double bond of the starting chloroenone, producing the Z diastereoisomer. A new methodology to prepare SmI 2 in acetonitrile by sonic treatment of 1,2‐diiodoethane with Sm powder is also described. A mechanism to explain this transformation is proposed.
