Abstract

Abstract A comparative study on the catalytic activity of a series of [IrCl 2 Cp*(NHC)] complexes in several C–O and C–N coupling processes implying hydrogen-borrowing mechanisms has been performed. The compound [IrCl 2 Cp*(I nBu)](Cp*= pentamethyl cyclopentadiene; I nBu= 1, 3-di-n-butylimidazolylidene) showed to be highly effective in the cross-coupling reactions of amines and alcohols, providing high yields in the production of ...
