Acetals and ketals are readily deprotected under neutral conditions in the presence of acetone and catalytic amounts of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (<0.8 mol %) at room temperature or mild microwave heating conditions to give the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good to excellent yields.

Nucleoside O-glycosylation represents an archetypal problem in chemical selectivity, inasmuch as the nucleobase (an undesired site of reaction) is usually more nucleophilic than the hydroxyl (the desired site of reaction). Optimized reaction conditions have been developed for the efficient O-glycosylation of nucleoside hydroxyls. Both thioglycoside and Schmidt imidate donors (1.

Indium(III) triflate is found to be an effective catalyst for the benzannulation reactions of o-alkynylbenzaldehydes with enolisable aldehydes, ketones, 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters. The reactions produce naphthyl ketones through ring opening of adducts arising from the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions between in situ generated isochromenylium cations and enols. The main feature of the method is selective formation of naphthyl ketones in a highly regioselective manner without any decarbonylation.

An oxidative methyl esterification of aldehydes was effectively achieved. The trivalent indium reagent, indium(III) triflate, was revealed to accelerate the reactions in many cases. Aromatic aldehydes with various substituents were subjected to this method, and each produced the corresponding methyl esters in good to excellent yields within a relatively short reaction time.

We report a simple, efficient, and general method for the indium-mediated enantioselective propargylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes under Barbier-type conditions in a one-pot synthesis affording the corresponding chiral alcohol products in very good yield (up to 90%) and enantiomeric excess (up to 95%). The extension of this methodology to ketones demonstrated the need for electrophilic ketones more reactive than acetophenone as the reaction would not proceed with just acetophenone. Using the Lewis acid indium triflate [In(OTf)(3)] induced regioselective formation of the corresponding homoallenic alcohol product from acetophenone.

A convergent one-step transformation of tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers is described. According to our earlier experiments, indium(III) triflate has proven to be an efficient catalyst for the transformation of THP ethers into their corresponding acetates. In further intensive work, we have developed a useful transforming reaction of THP ethers using various anhydride moieties.
