Abstract

Unsymmetrical 3,4-disubstituted maleimides have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of indium organometallics with 3,4-dihalomaleimides.Various alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and alkynyl 3,4-disubstituted maleimides have been prepared in good yields and with high selectivity.
