A novel palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction of organoindium compoun
ds with vinyl and aryl triflates or iodides is described. The reaction proc
eeds for alkyl-, vinyl-, alkynyl-, and arylindium compounds in excellent yi
elds and high chemoselectivity without any excess of the organometallic. Re
markably, indium organometallics transfer efficiently the three organic gro
ups attached to the metal.
