Abstract

Indium trichloride was successfully applied to allylation reaction of aldehydes using allytributyltin in ionic liquids. This accelerated catalytic system afforded the allylated products of various aldehydes in moderate to high yields. Preliminary studies on the enantioselectivity of this type of reaction have resulted in low to moderate enantioselectivities.
