INDIUM-MEDIATED ALLYLATION OF ACYL CYANIDES IN AQUEOUS MEDIA: A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF β,γ-UNSATURATED KETONES

ABSTRACT The indium-mediated allylation reaction of acyl cyanides with allyl halides in aqueous media afforded a variety of β,γ-unsaturated ketones in moderate to good yields under mild and neutral conditions.
