Abstract
AbstractThis review summarizes recent advances of indium trichloride catalyzed synthesis of different organic compounds. It is obvious that InCl3 co‐ordinates with C−C and/or C‐heteroatom multiple bonds and thereby makes them very prone to nucleophilic attack to form a new bond. This Lewis acid catalyst also activates oxiranes to produce aldehydes. Multicomponent synthesis including C−C bond formation reaction and construction of N, O and S‐containing heterocycles are discussed in organic solvents as well as in water. This article highlights recent developments and application of indium(III) chloride as a catalyst in organic synthesis from 2015 to 2020. The mechanism of few important reactions is discussed in detail which will be very useful for the readers.
