On the Virtue of Indium in Reduction Reactions. A Comparison of Reductions Mediated by Indium and Zinc: Is Indium Metal an Effective Catalyst for Zinc Induced Reductions?
Indium(0)‐mediated reductions have been reported for the transformation of several functional groups (imines, oximes, nitro groups, isoxazolidines, and conjugated alkenes, among others), prompted by the opportunity of performing the reactions in aqueous media and green conditions. We describe here the comparison of several reactions using indium or the less expensive zinc, carried out in order to evaluate

Deprotonation of ketimines with lithium diisopropyl amide, followed by reaction with aldehydes and subsequent reduction with aluminium hydrides gave γ-amino alcohols with moderate to good syn selectivity. The scope and limitations of this preparative method are reported.
