The majority of reactions promoted by Lewis acids or bases are stoichiometric. Catalysts based on transition metals instead of conventional Lewis acids and bases might be useful, because the neutralization of reagents would not be necessary, and salts would not form. We found that such transition-metal-based Lewis acid [1–4] and base [1, 5] catalysts that have low redox potentials are environmentally benign and useful for organic synthesis. This concept can be extended to ambiphilic catalysts based on transition metals.[6] These catalysts make possible both acid-and base-promoted reactions in a single container without the mutual destruction of reagents by neutralization, and multicomponent catalytic reactions that may be useful for combinatorial chemistry can be constructed.We report herein that the iridium polyhydride complex [IrH5 (PiPr3) 2] 1 is an excellent Lewis acid and base ambiphilic catalyst based on a transition metal, and that a novel threecomponent reaction of nitriles, olefins, and water occurs in the presence of catalyst 1 to gave glutarimides, which are highly versatile intermediates for synthesis of biologically active compounds [Eq. 1].[7] Iridium complex 1 is important as both
