Abstract
2-Oxocarboxylic acids or their sodium salts undergo indium-mediated allylation with allyl bromide cinnamyl bromide and ethyl 4- bromocrotonate to provide the corresponding 2-allyl derivatives of glycolic lactic mandelic and malic acids. In the case of reactions with cinnamyl bromide or ethyl 4-bromocrotonate high diastereoselectivity is achieved.
