Radiation therapy can be an effective means to treat bone metastases, which occur in more than 50% of cancer patients. (153)Samarium lexidronam ((153)Sm-EDTMP; Quadramet, Cytogen) is a radiopharmaceutical designed for deposition into bone metastases. Bone scans can identify patients that
Samarium(II)-iodide-mediated cyclizations in natural product synthesis.
The first general method for the chemoselective synthesis of α,α-dideuterio alcohols directly from feedstock carboxylic acids under single electron transfer conditions using SmI2 is reported. This reaction proceeds after the activation of Sm(II) with a Lewis base, results in excellent
