While this manuscript was being reviewed, preliminary results about the reaction of diiodoalkanes with aldehydes using samarium diiodide were reported, including two examples with chiral substrates: Matsubara, S.; Yoshioka, M.; Utimoto, K. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1997, 36, 617. Synthetic applications of this reaction are not described.
