Indium-mediated allylation and Reformatsky reaction on glyoxylic oximes under ultrasound irradiation

A novel and more convenient method for the indium-promoted allylation of glyoxylic oximes based on the use of ultrasonic waves is reported. A similar procedure was used to develop the first example reported in the literature of an indium-mediated Reformatsky reaction on oxime ethers.
