Alkylation of active methylene compounds with alcohols catalyzed by an iridium complex.

Chem. Commun. (Camb.) , 2850, (2007)

Base-free catalytic alpha-alkylation of active methylene compounds with primary alcohols was successfully achieved using an [IrCl(cod)](2) complex in the presence of PPh(3) to afford the corresponding saturated alpha-alkylated products in good yields.
