In/InCl₃-Mediated 1,2-Addition of Allyl Group to α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Abstract

In/InC1₃-mediated addition of allyl iodide to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds gave moderate to high yields of 1,2-addition products. The reactions covered acylic and cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Indium trichloride was effective for these Barbier-type allylation reactions.
