Find below the abstract:

A fruitful partnership: InCl3 activation of unactivated alkyl quinolines has been combined with organocatalytic activation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The reaction involves two consecutive synergistic catalytic cycles and provides selectively double- or mono-addition products in good yields and high to excellent stereoselectivities. Based on spectroscopic and labeling experiments, the reaction mechanisms are discussed.
