Used in organic synthesis as a mild and selective reagent for carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in indium-mediated allylation reactions. It facilitates the addition of allyl groups to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous or mixed solvent systems, offering good functional group tolerance and high chemoselectivity. Also employed in the preparation of indium metal complexes for catalytic applications and in materials science for the synthesis of indium-containing semiconductors and thin films. Its low toxicity and stability under ambient conditions make it suitable for laboratory-scale transformations in pharmaceutical and fine chemical research.
