A new cascade for the one-pot synthesis of linear homoallylic alcohols with an allylic diindium reagent
Abstract
A new cascade based on a novel allylic diindium reagent has been developed; the indium reagent prepared from 3-bromo-1-iodopropene successively coupled with carbonyl compounds and then with aryl, alkenyl or allyl halides in the presence of a Pd(0) catalyst to afford a convenient one-pot synthesis of linear homoallylic alcohols.
