Formation and control of carbon-carbon bonds are an essential part of organic synthesis. Indium promotes these types of formations and its utilization has advantages over traditionally used metals. Historically, Indium metal has shown a preference in adding to carbonyl moieties in a 1,2- rather than a 1,4-fashion.  In the system shown below, Michael-type of additions have been witnessed.  This poster will focus on the mechanistic pathway leading to formation of these "Michael Products" by either 1,4-addition or Cope Rearrangement and use of this technology in formation of ene-diyne molecules.
