Abstract

Oxidative addition of In/InCl3 to enones proceeds exclusively in aqueous media and leads to water-tolerant, ketone-type indium homoenolates. The synthetic utility of the indium homoenolates was demonstrated through the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds via palladium-catalyzed coupling with acid chlorides.
