Abstract

Indium (III) halide catalyzed not only the coupling of alkyl chlorides with silyl enolates derived from esters, ketones, and aldehydes to give a variety of α-alkylated carbonyl compounds but also one-pot, three-component reactions of aldehyde enolate, alkyl chloride, and allylsilane or alkynylsilane.
