An electrochemical method to prepare solutions of samarium diiodide in THF is reported. The simple electrolysis of a samarium rod provides a rapid and straightforward in situ synthesis of SmI 2 . The electrogenerated complex catalyzes various CC bond formations. The reagent is produced continuously (see scheme) and leads to efficient organic electrosynthesis with significantly smaller amounts of solvent than usually required.
