Facile O-H insertion reactions of alpha-diazo ketones with alcohols or benzenethiol have been developed in the presence of indium triflate as a catalyst. These reactions provided good yields of alpha-alkoxy ketones. A comparative study with other Lewis acids establishes the reactivity of indium triflate in O-H insertion reactions of alpha-diazo ketones. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
