Cross‐coupling between 3‐buten‐2‐ol ( 2 ) and aldehyde in the presence of a catalytic amount of [RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 ] has been developed, through a tandem olefin migration/aldol reaction in a water/toluene mixture. The presence of In(OAc) 3 promoted the aldol reaction with α‐vinylbenzyl alcohol ( 4 ) and aldehyde, while treatment of 3‐buten‐2‐ol ( 2 ) with imines generated Mannich‐type reaction products; syn isomers were formed as the major diastereomers for the aldol products 3a − 3g and 5a − 5e and the Mannich products 7a − 7g .
