Abstract

In the presence of a catalytic amount of indium (III) trichloride (InCl3) (20 mol%), ketene silyl enol ethers react quickly with α, β- unsaturated ketones and esters to afford the corresponding Michael adducts in moderate to good yields. Indium(III) trichloride can be recovered and reused without decrease in yields.
