It seems almost paradoxical that reactive low-valent indium(I) species can be generated at the anode through reduction of indium(III) salts under electrochemical conditions (see scheme). The resulting indium(I) species are highly effective catalysts for the allylation of different aldehydes, ketones, and esters on a preparative scale.
