Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A chiral indium complex has been discovered to effect high enantioselectivities in the addition of allyltributylstannanes to ketones. The allylation of a variety of aromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic ketones resulted in good yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee).
