Tetrameric indium trichloride, a new modification of a widely used compound.

Indium chloride (InCl3) catalysed domino protocol for the regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized pyranopyrazoles under mild conditions

Regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized pyranopyrazoles was achieved in excellent yield from phenyl pyrazolone, substituted aromatic aldehyde with nitroketene-N,S-acetal in the presence of indium trichloride as a versatile catalyst under reflux condition in ethanol-water mixture. All reactions preceeded within a short period of time with excellent purity. All of the synthesized compou...

A versatile indium trichloride mediated Prins-type reaction to unsaturated heterocycles.

A versatile and high-yielding indium trichloride mediated cyclization reaction of silylated homoallylic alcohols, thiols, or amines with aldehydes or epoxides is described as a rapid route to a range of unsaturated heterocycles. The excellent diastereoselectivity observed offers a method of wide scope and generality.

Stereoselective and controlled polymerization of D,L-lactide using indium(III) trichloride.

Indium trichloride, benzyl alcohol, and triethylamine (without an added 'directing' multidentate ligand) generate a catalyst in situ for the room temperature polymerization of D,L-lactide affording highly heterotactic polylactide of controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution.

Bis[(2-diphenyIphosphino)phenyl]phenylphosphine as an Inflexible Tridentate Ligand for Indium Trichloride

Anhydrous indium trichloride reacts with [2-(Ph2P)C6H4]2PPh (TP) in the molar ratio 2:1 to give an ionic complex [(TP)InCl2]+ InCLin almost quantitative yield. The structure of the product has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. In the cation the TP molecule acts only as a bidentate ligand via its two terminal phosphorus atoms [In-Pl 2.5956(8), In-P2 2.5799o(7) A], Alth...
