Given the relatively weak strength of indium salts as Lewis acids, trimethylsilyl halides or other silane derivatives are often employed together with In(III) salts as robust combined Lewis acid catalysts. This thesis focuses on the development of novel organic reactions using In(III)-TMSBr catalyst...
