Abstract
A highly efficient secondary benzylation procedure of nucleophiles (arenes, heteroarenes, alcohols, thiols, amides) with benzylic alcohols afforded the corresponding benzylated products in moderate to excellent yields in the presence of a high-valent heterobimetallic complex [Ir2(COD)2(SnCl3)2(Cl)2(μ-Cl)2] as the catalyst.
