SmI2-mediated reductive cleavage of α-heterosubstituents of α-alkyl or α-aryl ketones and lactone gave the corresponding 'thermodynamic samarium enolates'. Enantioselective protonation of the samarium enolates with C2- symmetric chiral diols afforded the corresponding ketones and lactone in moderate to high enantioselectivities.
