Name: (4-Bromophenyl)methanolIn 2019 ,《Iridium(I)-Catalyzed C-C and C-N Bond Formation Reactions via the Borrowing Hydrogen Strategy》 was published in Journal of Organic Chemistry. The article was written by Genc, Sertac; Arslan, Burcu; Gulcemal, Suleyman; Gunnaz, Salih; Cetinkaya, Bekir; Gulcemal, Derya. The article contains the following contents:
Iridium(I) complexes having an imidazol-2-ylidene ligand with benzylic wingtips efficiently catalyzed the β-alkylation of secondary alcs. with primary alcs. and acceptorless dehydrogenative cyclization of 2-aminobenzyl alc. with ketones through a borrowing hydrogen pathway. The β-alkylated alcs., including cholesterol derivatives, and substituted quinolines were obtained in good yields by using a minute amount of the catalyst with a catalytic amount of NaOH or KOH under the air atm., liberating water (and H2 in the case of quinoline synthesis) as the sole byproduct. Notably, this system demonstrated turnover numbers of 940,000 (for β-alkylation of secondary alcs. with primary alcs. by using down to 0.0001 mol % = 1 ppm of the catalyst) and 9200 (acceptorless dehydrogenative cyclization of 2-aminobenzyl alc. with ketones).
