Abstract

The low first ionisation potential (5.8 eV) of indium coupled with its stability towards air and water, suggest that this metallic element should be a useful reducing agent for organic substrates. The use of indium metal for the reduction of CN bonds in imines, the heterocyclic ring in benzo-fused nitrogen heterocycles, of oximes, nitro compounds and conjugated alkenes and the removal of 4-nitrobenzyl protecting groups is described. Thus the ...
