A Typical Procedure:To a solution of glycal (50 mg) and alcohol (2 equiv) in acetonitrile(1 mL) InCl3 (30 mol%) was added and the mixtureirradiated with microwaves (LG model: MC-804AAR) for the appropriatetime (see Table [1] ). Thereaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washedwith water, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporatedto dryness. The residue was purified on silica gel (100-200 mesh)to afford the desired 2,3-unsaturated products as summarized inTable [1] .
