Abstract:

Indium metal and selected indium(III) compounds have emerged as an alternative tool in organic synthesis, but the use of compounds with the metal at the oxidation state (I) has been hardly explored. This account discusses the major routes to indium(I) compounds, their chemical properties and applications in organic synthesis.

Keywords: indium(I); indium monohalides; oxidative insertion reactions; hydrochalcogenation; epoxide ring opening; carboncarbon bond formation

More about this publication?

Current Organic Synthesis publishes in-depth reviews on all areas of synthetic organic chemistry i.e. asymmetric synthesis, organometallic chemistry, novel synthetic approaches to complex organic molecules, carbohydrates, polymers, protein chemistry, DNA chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition and new synthetic methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The journal is essential reading to all synthetic organic chemists. Current Organic Synthesis should prove to be of great interest to synthetic chemists in academia and industry who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic synthesis.
