Herein, a coupling reaction of enol ethers with silyl ketene imines in the presence of catalytic amounts of InBr 3 and Me 3 SiBr is described. Kinetic studies have revealed that an indium catalyst and Me 3 SiBr accelerated the coupling process and the regeneration of the catalyst, respectively. Various types of enol ethers and silyl ketene imines are applicable. In addition, a formal synthesis of verapamil was achieved by using this novel coupling reaction.
