## Abstract Reductive homocoupling of aromatic aldehydes, ketones, and imines has been achieved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature using a catalytic amount of InCl~3~ (0.5โ3.0 mol %) under a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) and aluminum metal (Al) to pr
