Abstract
[IrCl(COD)(NHC)] complexes catalyze reactions of primary alcohols with secondary alcohols or ketones to provide various α-alkylated ketones in high yields. The borrowing hydrogen reactions work in the presence of 0.05-0.5% iridium(I) and a catalytic amount of KOH (5-10 mol %) as the base under air atmosphere and within very short reaction times.
