-endo-trig cyclizations. Efficacy, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of these reactions via samarium ketyls strongly depend on the substitution pattern of the attacked alkene moiety. The stereoselectivity of the protonation of the intermediate samariumorganyl is also influenced by the structural
-trig cyclizations to cycloheptanol derivatives have been observed. In examples with high steric hindrance the ketyl–aryl coupling can be a competing process.

parent free aziridine 114 in 65% yield. Although these types of aziridinomitosene are usually very unstable and aziridine solvolysis products are often formed, the presence of a deactivating ester group promoted the stability of the molecule.
