Abstract

Abstract: Allylic tributyltins and acid chlorides are effectively coupled to yield allylic ketones in indium (III) chloride-catalyzed reactions. In the case of g-unsubstituted allylic tins, the assistance of a phosphine is essential to prevent further allylation of the produced ketones. Key words: indium, allylic tin, acid chloride, phosphine, coupling reaction
