Our recent discovery that In(III) salts were able to activate halides catalytically under mild conditions for the intermolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization prompted us to explore this highly efficient activation in intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reactions. The alkylation of p-xylene with allylic and benzylic halides was demonstrated under catalytic and mild condition to afford in some cases quantitative yields of the monoalkylated products without the need to employ large excesses of reactants.
InBr3-catalyzed deoxygenation of carboxylic acids with a hydrosilane: Reductive conversion of aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids to primary alcohols or diphenylmethanes

A simple and practical procedure for the direct reduction of aliphatic carboxylic acids with a variety of functional groups to a primary alcohol using the mild reducing reagent tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS), in the presence of a catalytic amount of InBr3 has been developed. This simple reducing system, when used together with a hydrosilane, allows the preparation of the diphenylmethane derivative directly from an aromatic carboxylic acid and an aromatic compound.
