T. Hirashita et al., A new cascade for the one-pot synthesis of linear homoallylic alcohols with an allylic diindium reagent, CHEM COMMUN, (4), 2001, pp. 387-388
A new cascade based on a novel allylic diindium reagent has been developed;
the indium reagent prepared from 3-bromo-1-iodopropene successively couple
d with carbonyl compounds and then with aryl, alkenyl or allyl halides in t
he presence of a Pd(0) catalyst to afford a convenient one-pot synthesis of
linear homoallylic alcohols.
