Abstract

Tetraorganoindium ate complexes, prepared by the addition of organolithium reagents to trialkylindium, reacted with α, β-unsaturated ketones in a 1, 4-addition fashion; allylic indates derived from allylic indium sesquihalides coupled with allylic halides regio-and stereo- specifically to give high yields of head-to-tail 1, 5-dienes.
