We have found that acyl cyanide can act as an electrophile in the indium-mediated allylation in aqueous media to achieve carbon–carbon bond formation. To the best of our knowledge, the indium-mediated allylation has never been applied to acyl cyanides as activated carboxylic acid derivative. In our methodology synthesizing β,γ-unsaturated ...
