Abstract

An atom economic and catalytic substitution reaction of π-activated alcohols by a multimetallic Ir–Sn3 complex has been demonstrated. The multimetallic Ir–Sn3 complex can be easily synthesized from the reaction between [Cp∗ IrCl2] 2 and SnCl2. In presence of as little as 1 mol% of the catalyst three different types of π-activated alcohols, namely benzyl, allyl, and propargyl alcohols, have been successfully transformed into alkylated products ...
