Stereoselective hydroacylation of bicyclic alkenes with 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes catalyzed by hydroxoiridium/diene complexes†
Abstract
A hydroxoiridium complex coordinated with 1,5-cyclooctadiene efficiently catalyzed the hydroacylation of bicyclic alkenes with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its derivatives in high yields with high stereoselectivity.
