Abstract
A new procedure for the synthesis of β-hydroxy enones from
allenyl carbinols and aldehydes is described. The use of InCl3 to
promote reaction results in a mild and convenient protocol for the preparation
of β-hydroxy enones.
Key words
aldehydes - allenes - coupling - enones - indium

General Procedure: To
a solution of indium(III)chloride (1.1 equiv) and benzaldehyde (1.5
equiv) in CH2 Cl2 was added drop-wise octa-1,2-dien-4-ol
(1 equiv) in CH2 Cl2 at 20 °C.
After stirring for 5 h at 20 °C, aq NaHCO3 was
added to the reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was extracted with
Et2 O (2×). After drying the combined organic
solution over anhyd Na2 SO4 , the solvents were
removed under reduced pressure. Fresh column chromatography (SiO2 ,
10% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded 3a in
73% yield. IR(neat): ν = 3444, 2922,
