摘要

The cationic iridium pincer complex [(POCOP) Ir (H)(acetone)]+[B (C6F5) 4]−{1, POCOP= 2, 6-[OP (t Bu) 2] 2C6H3} was found to be a highly active catalyst for the room-temperature cleavage and reduction of a wide variety of unactivated alkyl ethers including primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl ethers as well as aryl alkyl ethers by triethylsilane. Mechanistic studies have revealed the full details of the catalytic cycle with the catalyst resting state (s) ...
