title: Tetraorganoindates as nucleophilic coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
abstract: In situ-generated tetraorganoindate complexes from the reaction of 1 equiv of indium trichloride with 4 equiv of appropriate organometallics are efficient nucleophiles in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. In this novel reaction tetraorganoindates containing methyl, 1 degree- and 2 degree-alkyl, vinyl, alkynyl, and aryl groups transfer the four organic groups to a variety of electrophiles with high atom efficiency.
