Abstract
A moisture-tolerant chiral indium complex has been developed to effect good enantioselectivities in the addition of allyltributylstannanes to aldehydes. The allylation of a variety of aromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic aldehydes resulted in both moderate to good yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 86% ee).
