Iridium(i) hydroxides in catalysis: rearrangement of allylic alcohols to ketones†
Abstract
The iridium(I) hydroxide complex [Ir(OH)(COD)(IiPr)] has been shown to be a competent catalyst for the rearrangement of allylic alcohols to ketones. Reactions proceed in short reaction times (1–1.5 h) with microwave heating, in the absence of additives.
