Indium (III) salt has attracted considerable attention in synthetic organic chemistry due to its low toxicity, high stability under aqueous conditions, and strong tolerance to oxygen- and nitrogen containing functional groups. Hence, our interest focused on developing a novel synthetic organic reaction based on activation by the trivalent indium halide. Herein we report the following reactions: (i) an InBr
3-Et
3N reagent system-promoted alkynylation of aldehydes or
N,
O-acetals leading to various propargylic alcohols or amines; (ii) a Pd(II)-InBr
3 reagent system-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with aryl iodides leading to the functionalized alkyne derivatives; (iii) InBr
3-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of various ethynylanilines producing a variety of indole derivatives; (iv) InBr
3-promoted intermolecular dimerization of the ethynylanilines without a substituent on a terminal alkyne affording polysubstituted quinolines; (v) an InBr
3-Et
3SiH reagent system-promoted chemoselective deoxygenation of esters, amides or nitrobenzenes producing the corresponding highly valuable compounds.
