Js. Yadav et al., Indium(III) chloride catalyzed allylation of gem-diacetates: A facile synthesis of homoallyl acetates, CHEM LETT, (1), 2001, pp. 18-19
Indium(III) chloride is found to catalyze efficiently the allylation of gem
-diacetates with allyltrimethylsilane at room temperature to afford the cor
responding homoallylic acetates in high yields with good regioselectivity.
