Reduction of activated conjugated alkenes by the InCl3-NaBH 4 reagent system

A combination of a catalytic amount of indium (III) chloride and sodium borohydride in acetonitrile reduces selectively the carbon-carbon double bonds in conjugated alkenes such as α,α-dicyano olefins, α,β-unsaturated nitriles, cyanoesters, cyanophosphonate and dicarboxylic esters. However, reduction of chalcones is little different. They are reduced to a mixture of saturated ketones and alcohols if the reaction mixture is quenched with H2O, whereas quenching with MeOH leads to saturated alcohols only.

Indium hydride (Cl2InH) generated in situ from a combination of a catalytic amount of indium(III) chloride and sodium borohydride selectively reduces the carbon-carbon double bond in conjugated alkenes such as α,α-dicyano olefins, α,β-unsaturated nitriles, cyano esters, cyanophosphonate, diesters and ketones.
