C= O and C= N bonds.[1] Their potential as Lewis acid catalysts for fundamental reactions, such as the Diels–Alder,[2a, b] Friedel–Crafts,[2c] Mukaiyama aldol,[2d] and Sakurai–Hosomi allylation reactions,[2e, f] has been extensively investigated over the last decade.[2] Recently, certain indium (iii) salts, as well as other transition-metal compounds, were found to have π acidity and to activate CÀC multiple bonds by coordination to π electrons.[3] Several InX3-catalyzed nucleophilic additions of arenes,[4a, b] 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds,[4c, d] and heteroatomic compounds, such as anilines [4e, f] and thiols [4g] to triple bonds, have been reported.[4]Catalytic dual activation, in which a metal complex exhibits two roles in a single transformation, is of major interest in organic synthesis from the atom-economy and mechanistic points of view.[5] Recently, Shibasaki and coworkers developed an efficient method for catalytic alkynylation of aldehydes and ketones by using the dual activation of a soft nucleophile and a hard electrophile with an indium (iii) catalyst.[6] However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of dual activation of both hard and soft electrophiles by an InX3 catalyst. In this context, we are interested in developing InX3-catalyzed annulation reactions to form 1, 2-dihydroisoquinolines,[7] which are known to be versatile intermediates for biologically active natural products, through tandem nucleophilic additions to both imines and CÀC triple bonds. Such 6-endo-dig cyclizations into quinolines has already been developed by using several transition-metal catalysts.[3c, e–i] We previously reported the diastereoselective allylation of optically active aldimines with an allyl indium reagent prepared in situ [Eq.(1)],[8] and thus planned to develop a tandem
