Highly efficient Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling reactions with tetraorganoindates

초록

Tetraorganoindates, which were prepared easily from the reaction of 1 equiv of InCl3 with 4 equiv of organometallics, could be employed as effective nucleophilic cross-coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling reactions with a variety of organic electrophiles. The present method gave unsymmetrical ketones and 1,4-diacylbenzenes in good yields with highly efficient transfer of almost all the organic groups attached to the indium under a carbon monoxide atmosphere in THF at 60 degreesC.
