Abstract

Organometallic compounds have acquired considerable importance in carboncarbon bond forming reactions. 1., and In particular, organoindium reagents have attracted much attention due to their compatibility with many common organic functional groups (eg R-OH, CO 2 R) and stability under aqueous conditions. Allyl indium reagents, 2., and generated in situ from allyl halides and indium metal, react with various electrophiles, such as carbonyl compounds, ...
