Indium(III) chloride-sodium borohydride system: a convenient radical reagent for an alternative to tributyltin hydride system.
The indium hydride generated from NaBH4 and InCl3, is a promising candidate of alternative to Bu3SnH. In particular, the catalytic performance of InCl3 in the dehalogenation of alkyl and aryl halides, intramolecular cyclization and intermolecular coupling reaction are noteworthy.
