Abstract
The use of indium salts as catalysts and mediators in addition, cyclization, aromatic electrophilic substitution, nucleophilic substitution, coupling, reduction, rearrangement and polymerization reactions that have appeared in papers published between 2000 and the first half of 2002 is reviewed. InCl3, InBr3, InI3, InCl, InBr, InI, In(OTf)3, and In(NTf)3 are most commonly used indium salts depending on the reaction type and reaction conditions. The use of indium salts, generally, allows the reaction to be carried out under mild conditions, with high yield and high selectivity. Sometimes, an aqueous medium can be used and the catalyst can be reused.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
