Abstract
A green method for the allylation of aldehydes with allyl bromide mediated by indium in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) and PEG400/H2O is described. Aldehydes with different substituents afforded the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good to excellent yields. Comparative studies show that water promoted this reaction in PEG 400.
