26. 6b,7 (2:3, anti/syn, in our cases) comes from the use of different aldehyde substrates, not a solvent effect. The major isomer could be inverted according to the substrates used in the indium-mediated allylation of a-oxygenated aldehydes; see: Paquette, L. A.; Mitzel, T. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 1931.
