Abstract

The reaction of phenacyl iodide with indium metal gave 3, 4-epoxy-1, 3-diphenyl-1- butanone which, on treatment with silica gel, gave 2, 4-diphenylfuran and 2, 4-diphenyl-4- oxobutanal. Metallic indium as well as indium (I) iodide were found to mediate the aldol condensation between α-halo ketone and aldehyde.
