Rb. Wang et al., YTTERBIUM TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE [YB(OTF)3] PROMOTED INDIUM MEDIATED ALLYLATION REACTIONS OF CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS IN AQUEOUS-MEDIA, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(8), 1995, pp. 1825-1828
Indium-mediated allylation reactions of the sugar derivative 1 in aque
ous media have been found to proceed with high anti diastereofacial se
lectivity in the presence of ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate as Le
wis acid.
