Abstract

Abstract: The water-soluble iridium complex {Cp* Ir-ACHTUNGTRENNUNG [6, 6'-(OH) 2bpy] ACHTUNGTRENNUNG (H2O)} ACHTUNGTRENNUNG [OTf] 2 (Cp*= η5- pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, bpy= 2, 2'-bipyridine) was found to be a general and highly efficient catalyst for the N-alkylation of the poor nucleophilic sulfonamides with alcohols as alkylating agents in water. The presence of OH units in the bpy ligand is crucially ...
