Abstract

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.
