A similar indium-mediated transformation has been developed by Pae that includes a few examples for synthesis of homoallylic homopropargylic alcohols, albeit as mixtures of addition products; see: Oh, B.

29. It is not recommended that reaction times extend past 4 h since THF is observed to polymerize slowly under the reaction conditions, making workup problematic.
30. THF solutions of 1 were estimated to be approximately 0.8 M after dilution with a volume calculated from the crude mass to afford a 1.0 M solution. There was no noticeable improvement in yield in the optimization studies between 1.5 and 2.0 equiv of 1.
