title: Enantioselective allylation of ketones catalyzed by chiral In(III)-PYBOX complexes.
abstract: In the presence of 20 mol% of chiral catalytic complex prepared from In(OTf)3 and chiral PYBOX, allyltributylstannane reacted with achiral ketones to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in moderate to high enantioselectivities (54-95% ee), which constitutes the first example of enantioselective allylation of ketones catalyzed by the chiral In(III)-PYBOX complex.
