In metal in DMF. In another important approach, Chan et al. used Me 2 Hg in the presence<br />

of In or InI 3 (Scheme II.2.3) to generate the allylindium intermediate which could carry<br />

out allylation of aldehydes and ketones even in water. 65b<br />

Several RTILs viz. [bmim][BF 4 ], [bmim][PF 6 ] and [bmim][Tf 2 N] have also been<br />

used for the allylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in moderate to good yields. 65c<br />

In the In-mediated crotylation, the diastereoselectivities of crotylation of aromatic<br />

aldehydes were largely dependent on the ligands attached to the allylic indium reagents, 65d<br />

as well as on the substrate chirality and reaction media. Crotylation of the α-oxygenated<br />

aldehyde 55 proceeded with moderate syn-selectivity in H 2 O, but a mixture of<br />

diastereomers were obtained in water-THF or THF (Scheme II.2.4). 65e,f<br />
