Regioselective carboindation of simple alkenes with indium tribromide and ketene silyl acetals.
The regioselective carboindation of simple alkenes with indium tribromide and ketene silyl acetals was accomplished. Various alkenes such as ethylene, 1-alkenes, and cyclic alkenes were applicable for this reaction system. The alkylindium product from the carboindation of cyclohexene revealed an anti addition mechanism.
