title: Enantioselective synthesis of homoallylic alcohols via a chiral In(III)-PYBOX complex.
abstract: In the presence of 20 mol% of a chiral catalytic complex prepared from In(OTf)(3) and chiral PYBOX, allyltributylstannane reacted with aldehydes to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in moderate to high enantioselectivities (60-93% ee).
