Catalytic Enantioselective Allylation of Ketones via a Chiral Indium(III) Complex.

Abstract

Alcohols Q 0230Catalytic Enantioselective Allylation of Ketones via a Chiral Indium(III) Complex. -The first highly catalytic enantioselective allylation of ketones using a chiral indium(III) complex prepared from (R)-BINOL and InBr3 is described. The corresponding alcohols are prepared in good yields and enantioselectivity. The chiral ligand can be recovered in high yield. -(TEO, Y.-C.; GOH, J.-D.; LOH*, T.-P.; Org.
