title: Triethylsilane-indium(III) chloride system as a radical reagent.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel generation method of indium hydride (Cl2InH) was found by the transmetalation of InCl3 with Et3SiH. In the intramolecular cyclization of enynes, the previously reported system (NaBH4-InCl3) has a problem of side reactions with the coexistent borane. In contrast, the problem was solved by the presented system, which affords effective hydroindation of alkynes.
