Abstract

Allylation of aldehydes is an important transformation in organic synthesis. 1 Over the past decade, allylation reactions by allylic indium reagents, in particular, have been of increasing interest because of their tolerance to water, which allows their wide uses in aqueous media for environmentally benign syntheses. 2 Generally, the allylindium reagent can be prepared by the conventional transmetalation of allyllithium or allyl Grignard reagents with indium(III) ...
