Phosphorus halides indium

Transmetallation reactions between allyltin compounds and other Lewis acid metal halides (e.g. Bu2SnCl2, BCI3, BBr AICI3, or TiCU) are similarly very fast,39 and the reaction between allyltriphenyltin and BCI3 (though not BF3-OEt2) is complete within one second.40 Reactions of this type have been used for preparing allylic derivatives of boron,41,42 indium,10,38 copper 43 phosphorus, arsenic, antimony,44 and other metals. 

Although in this chapter we shall be restricting coverage to reactions of transition-metal complexes, the phenomenon of oxidative addition is not confined to this type of compound. Such reactions are also well established for non-transition metals—a recently reported example concerns the oxidative addition of methyl bromide to indium(i) bromide to give InBr2Me— and for non-metals, as in the reaction of phosphorus trichloride with chlorine, to cite a very familiar example. Likewise, reductive eliminations are known and studied outside the area of transition-metal complexes. One example has been mentioned in Chapter 1 of Part II of this volume, namely the elimination of alkyl halides from the thallium(iii) compounds TlRXa. ...
