Abstract

The development of Barbier-type of carboncarbon bond formations offers tremendous opportunities in synthetic organic chemistry. 1 Significant advances in this type of reaction have been developed. The metals being used include primarily Sn, 2 Zn, 3 Mg, 4 Bi, 5 and Cd. 1 The main drawbacks of these metals are long reaction times and only reactive halides are found to be effective. Indium in aqueous solution has shown considerable promise in the addition of ...
