Barker, Timothy J. Jarvo, Elizabeth R. Diene-Ligated Iridium Catalyst for Allylation Reactions of Ketones and Imines [Ir(cod)Cl]<sub>2</sub> is a highly reactive catalyst for allylation reactions of ketones using allylboronic ester. Mechanistic experiments are consistent with formation of a nucleophilic allyliridium(I) complex that is activated by the diene ligand toward attack of a ketone. Aryl and alkyl ketones react smoothly at room temperature. Aldimines also undergo allylation under these reaction conditions, requiring increased reaction times relative to the corresponding ketones. reaction conditions;allylboronic ester;reactive catalyst;allylation reactions;reaction times;alkyl ketones;diene ligand;room temperature;Mechanistic experiments;Allylation Reactions 2009-03-05
