(Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) Iridium Dichloride Dimer {[IrCp* Cl2] 2}: A Novel Efficient Catalyst for the Cycloisomerizations of Homopropargylic Diols and N?? …
Abstract (Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) iridium dichloride dimer {[IrCp* Cl 2] 2}-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of bis-homopropargylic alcohols provides an efficient access to dioxabicyclo [2.2. 1] ketals. The cycloisomerizations proceed under mild conditions, with low catalytic loadings and short reaction times. This new protocol involving an Ir (III) catalyst also promoted the cycloisomerization of nitrogen-tethered 1, 6-enynes to give azabicyclo [4.1. ...
